Teresa Hand of Huntsville, Ala. captured this footage of a green treefrog crawling on her wall when it ate a firefly, or a lightning bug. After it eats the bug, you can see the firefly light up for a while, then it eventually fades away. Pretty cool? Or have you seen this already? YouTube has a bunch of videos showing these frogs eating fireflies but it is a first fo me so I thought it was neat.
The green treefrog is a fairly large treefrog at around 2.5 inches in length. They are found in the southeastern United States, including Alabama, Florida, eastern Texas, southern Georgia, Maryland, Virginia, Delaware and the Carolinas. They are popular in the hobby and are fairly easy to keep given the right care information. Read the Green Treefrog Care Sheet.
