You lied to begin with, and are now desperately though pathetically
trying to support your lying.

That's because of a number of people who have reported them,
plus having seen many frogs in different environments similar to
rice fields. The only thing I've seen trying to oppose the occurrence
is you who have no clue wtf you're trying to talk about, and one or
two other "aras".

No there are not.

Nope.

Maybe, but not about this topic.

The email you presented turned out to back up diderot's claim.

You just can't comprehend the fact that there are still pools in rivers and
creeks, and that they exist behind closed flood gates.

Let's see some evidence of that.

Let's see some evidence of that too.

You see nothing, and care even less.

Fish, frogs, snails, insects, and other aquatic organisms that thrive in
conjunction with rice are a source of animal protein and essential fatty
acids. In addition, various kinds of livestock are supported by rice-based
systems. Ducks feed on small fish, other aquatic organisms, and weeds
within the paddy fields, while buffaloes, cattle, sheep and goats graze on
rice straw as their main food source in rice-producing areas.

During the late summer, you had to be careful where you stepped. Thousands
of frogs hopped around on the ground, a product of the monsoon season, and
the rice paddies that were everywhere. Patty hated to step on them, but
sometimes it just happened. The corridor and ready room floors were always a
mess due to frog guts from their boots.
