In an ultimate case of crossed wires, a tiny tree frog's bug-catching antics left it with a bellyful of bulb. The Cuban tree frog took on an unnatural glow when it swallowed an entire fairy light in a botched bid to catch an insect. The unlucky amphibian had been hunting in the back garden of wildlife photographer James Snyder when it made a bid for the snack.
James, who lives in Palm Beach, Florida, had decorated his back yard with colourful lights after noticing that frogs had worked out lights attracted bugs. But one night he discovered that one of the little beasts had bitten off far more than it could chew.
James, 29, said: 'A bug landed on the bulb and when the frog went for it he got a little bit extra. 'I zoomed in and noticed that the wire was actually going into the frogs mouth, he had swallowed the entire light, he wasn't sitting on it at all' 'I have a large mango tree by my patio and my wife and I have Christmas lights wrapped around the trunk and main limbs to light it up from underneath.
'I took my dog out back when I noticed the frog glowing on the tree and at first I thought that the frog was sitting on top of the light. 'I quickly put my dog back inside and grabbed my camera, but I was convinced that he would be gone by the time I returned but when I got back he was still sitting there glowing away. 'I began taking a few pictures from about four or five feet away because I did not want to scare him and make him move.
