We do not have that type of bug here. Ours breed in wet foliage. Even if I did, fish find larvae good dinner. We usually stock our ponds with a special fish that eats them but the guppies do a good job too.
The frog control program is on an as needed basis. I sprayed in the nursery the other night because I had one calling 6 feet off the bedroom wall. I got him. I have another one screaming but it's in my planters with scallions, peppers and cucumbers. I will need to get help and wash the plants as fast as I spray. No frog is more important than my Poblano chilis.
To my knowledge there is only one frog on earth that gets eaten for dinner. There are several Bullfrog species & they are all eaten in different parts of the world. I have eaten them and see it as a real environmental waste. Only the leg is edible. The rest of the frog is trashed. Tastes like watery chicken. The Cane Toad, like many other toads is toxic. We hear of dog poisoning. We even get human poisoning when dumb people try to suck toad venom to get high.
Aloha. Off subject, but I’m hoping you can help me. I’m looking for blue composting worms but can’t find a source near Hilo, or anywhere on the Big Island. Do you know a guy? Or gal? Mahalo!
I suppose if I googled this i would find out but I never heard of a "blue" composting worm. The only worms I ever saw used for compost were the red, or manure worms. Those I have in abundance where ever I sheet compost in the garden. They are naturally abundant here on andosol soils.
Locating a source of fry is the first step. I will probably start by asking around at the local pond club meetings. It took me a while to get my Tilapia. A lady that buys pineapples from us raises fish and we pulled a swap.
