Description
The only visible parts of this bullfrog were its eyes and body shape under the duckweed.
This is an invasive species at our Refuge, preying on small birds, ducklings and goslings as well. It was seen snatching a swallow out of the air and swallowing it whole. Luckily the ducks and other waterfowl enjoy its eggs, so the number of these amphibians is small.
They can actually be quite beautiful with their golden eyes and variety of green colors of their skin.

What a wonderful image, l'ina! I love the delicacy of the duckweed on his skin ...it's actually quite pretty. (We've lived on many lakes in many places through the years. Most suffered occasionally from seasonal duckweed and I NEVER thought of it as pretty before. l/f

Love you comment, Claudia. Yes, it is all in context how we feel about something.
