I don't recall if I posted this previously, but wanted to share.

My pool sees quite a few frogs. The invasions occur usually during rain in August. We have only had a few so far this year, but its always interesting to see if we break our record of 120+. Ive had invasions of 35, 78, and the biggest was 120+.

One invasion coincided with a liner replacement. Over 100 (I think we counted 120 on removal) dove into an empty pool.

And here is one of the larger bullfrogs. I've had up to 7 of these monsters in the pool at one time.

Every dang night. We live in the woods, and the pool is set back a ways from the house. The pool is RULED by frogs at night. We won’t go down at night because of inadequate lighting and the volume of frogs in there. We’re liable to step on one on the decking!
 
I have this week found a couple toads, gray tree frogs and today a leopard frog. All dead[emoji30][emoji30][emoji30]. My first year with the pool we had about 50 masses of eggs, I think gray tree frogs. I think they were there because my FC levels were too low. But these days I keep my FC around 5 so the frogs don’t make it.[emoji17]
 
zero. never had a frog in our pool. it's funny because I grew up with a pool and we'd find one probably once a week. I think I'm too urban in my location now.
 
Last night we found 12 little toads and one gigantic frog, all alive. It looked like they were having a pool party.
