Outline Usual visit in the evening Catch bugs they devoured the midges Tadpoles eat small particles of food Crickets, ants, spiders, crayfish, organic, inorganic substances Have been found near cow-dung and other waste products

Rough Draft:

Squirrel tree frogs usually visit in the evening to catch the bugs drawn by porch lights. The feeding behavior of Squirrel tree frogs are very aggressive predators when it comes to eating insects and other invertebrates. Some tree frogs once circled around a pile of fresh cow-dung, while waiting they devoured the midges that were attracted to the cow-dung. Many of the tree frogs contained different dietary needs. Such 9 were empty, 2 only contained plant debris, and 4 contained beetles. Other tree frogs contained crayfish and remains of a spiders, crickets, and ants. When it comes to tree frogs eating habits they differ in their diet in northern Florida, and weather or not they are adults or juveniles, may also result in dietary differences.

Tadpoles of the tree frogs are suspension feeders that usually eat organic and inorganic food pieces, they get these food sources from scrapes from rocks, plants and log substrates.
