I hope yo...Excellent picture Tricia.. all of them.<br /><br />I hope your PC woes are over soon.... I have had trouble in the past with Adware and Spyware... and even more trouble from the software to shift them.... I now use.. AVG's Anti Virus <a href="http://free.avg.com/download-avg-anti-virus-free-edition" rel="nofollow"> Here </a>(free download version)and have been doing now for 18 months or so... It scans the PC daily at a time I want it to, and let it update itself as it wants to.<br /><br />The other thing I use every few days is another free one called 'C' Cleaner (Crap Cleaner) <br /><a href="http://www.ccleaner.com/download" rel="nofollow"> Here </a><br /><br />I use 'NO' other Anti Virus software apart from Windows Firewall.... since using these I seem to be having trouble free internet use... I have the PC and Internet on from first thing in the morning to going to bed at night.... Jane and I use it so much now... <br />One of the very worse things I have found is any site the uses 'file sharing'.... I give them a wide birth.... I never download music, films and such like... and use gmail and never download attachments apart from family and friends pictures... and they get scanned beforehand.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04167792394551286975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-67765215912429525822009-08-18T22:11:10.104+01:002009-08-18T22:11:10.104+01:00Hi Jan and thank you.

I had ...Hi Richard and good to see you here again. I had a toad visiting a while ago and the consensus was a warty frog - I feel now that it was a toad. It's always easier when you see it "for real" rather than just a picture.<br /><br />I've been trying to find out the basic differences in appearance between frogs and toads apart from the wartiness (or not) etc.<br /><br />The green-bottle fly's breeding ground sounds horrid for the poor toad. It's sad they can't get rid of the larvae; but, as you alluded, that's nature after all.<br /><br />Thanks for your help with this.Tricia Ryderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05010432313312804286noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-61750485189805662362009-08-18T22:04:28.217+01:002009-08-18T22:04:28.217+01:00The ‘warty frog’ is actually a common toad and the...The ‘warty frog’ is actually a common toad and the injury to its head is caused by the larvae of a species of green-bottle fly. This nasty parasite lays its eggs on the toads head and on hatching, the larvae crawl into the toads nostrils and start devouring the soft tissue. They will eventually devour the whole animal. Isn’t nature wonderful?Richardnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2900331650867078349.post-52511688462125558982009-08-18T10:05:00.944+01:002009-08-18T10:05:00.944+01:00Wonderful photos, so clear, a real pleasure to see...Wonderful photos, so clear, a real pleasure to see.

Frustrating when things go wrong...and irritating too.<br /><br />Most of the buddleias that were being trialled were definitely past their best. The Bicolor though seemed to be in its prime. If they start selling them as garden plants I think one may its way to my garden.<br /><br />Keith - So do I Keith and thanks!<br /><br />I think you may be right about the warty frog - I've certainly had a similar adult!<br /><br />Thanks for the flutter ID - I was put off by the lack of black spots. Note to self "must try harder"!<br /><br />Glo - The PC problem still isn't resolved by at least the laptop's running properly. Yes - a great time had with my friend.<br /><br />Sheila - Thank you :)<br /><br />John - thanks - Wisley does provide great photo opportunities!<br /><br />Jan - Thank you and thanks for the ID. I sue Firefox and Google Chrome and haven't used IE for ages! Both much better than IE! <br /><br />Roy - thank you - think the sledge hammer might be the best option yet Lol<br /><br />Karen - thanks - it was such a pretty buddleia.<br /><br />OC - thank you. The sculpture is a new one since my last visit.

I think the butterfly is a Large White rather than a Green Veined White. Hope you get the technology sorted soon, have you considered Firefox?
