It's that time of the year again. I'm getting all kinds of hits from people who've typed "can frogs eat june bugs" into their search engine of choice.
This year, I am going to help you guys out. A quick search of Yahoo Answers has led me to believe that there are two schools of thought. One school's answer is, "Sure, as long as the june bug is smaller than the frog."
That's kind of what I would tell you. Why not put one in your frog's habitat and see what happens? That's what I do when feeding my tarantula.
But there is another school of thought. The "Never, (ever, ever) feed your frog insects that you've caught from outside! They are dirty and can carry diseases!"
So, in closing, I am going to say that if you only give your frog insects that you've bought from the pet store, don't give your frog a june bug. If you've caught other bugs from outside and your frog hasn't died from eating them, go for it.
And now, a little angry, nonsensical bit of prose I wrote around 2004 or so.
Frogs and june bugs on a hot summer night. Frogs eat june bugs so they'll stay out of my hair when I am sorting out Barbies for a garage sale. Wait, that was in the Spring. Anyway, thank you Frogs. Frogs show up like me, acting like a guest in my own home. They don't mind as much as I do. They'd probably do their laundry everyday. June bugs like the top 40 music. They listen to it day and night. But they are like gypsies- they only stay so long.
I lost forty pounds on Summer vacation and now all the boys who wish they were in Linkin Park are hanging all over me. Oh I am such a lucky girl! People say I look like the girl from CSI Miami.

You think you've got it bad? try talking to the one's who never made it to the porch that are still up in the cyclone waiting to land. Don't forget to wipe you feet before you come in. Dinner's at 7:30. You snore like you're the boss of me. Like a june bug with authority. The frogs don't eat some of the crickets for fear that their mansonesque philosophies on self vs. perception of self will seep into their insides and take over their brains like a carnation in orange water. Orange carnations drive in white vans and never blink. You know exactly what I am talking about. Don't forget to get the mail if you happen to go outside today. I'm waiting for a letter but I don't want to walk out in this humidity. It messes with my hair. Like the june bugs do.
