OK, it is not really raining frogs, but it is raining a lot this summer and after seeing these frogs, you may feel like it is raining frogs.
The first frogs are at the Atlanta Botanical Garden's frog exhibit. The volunteers feed them crickets or fruit flies depending on the size of the frogs. Many of these tiny frogs are very poisonous in their native habitat, but not in captivity according to the docent at this exhibit. They are from Central and South America.
