Getting Ready to Look for Oakfrogs
Oakfrogs are an interesting and unique species of frog. These frogs eat insects, spiders, eggs, and other small creatures. Oakfrogs are not commonly seen outside of the springtime, so it is important to keep an eye out for them if you want to see them in nature.
What to Look For When Hunting Oakfrogs
When hunting oakfrogs in the spring, be sure to look for these signs:
– sluggish movement
– stick nests in low-lying areas
– enlarged anal glands
– active during the morning and evening
How to Cook and Eat Oakfrogs
They can be found climbing trees and eating insects, but they are also known to eat other small vertebrates, such as frogs and fish.
Once you have your frog catcher, remove its head by holding its chin with one hand and pulling its head backward with the other. Be careful not to injure the frog’s eyes or mouth while doing this.
Next, wash the frog in cold water and dry it off. Place it in a frying pan or wok over medium-high heat and cook for about 3 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Serve hot with your choice of accompaniment: French fries, potato salad, roasted vegetables, etc.
