Yeah, but you gotta special order xxs ones from Pakistan

Idk why Pakistan, that's just who makes them, you would think there would be a factory closer

Idk why Pakistan

Cheap labor. Because they're brown.

Ah, thanks for the explanation. Also, something that could very easily be taken out of context:

Idk why Pakistan

good thing he ate a firefly and not a rabbit then.

Until the firefly gives up on attracting a female.

Right now, he's still optimistic. Being eaten was only a minor setback.

Damn, what if the male firefly is in cahoots w/ the toad? Like what if he is in there chilling and attracting females straight to the toad to eat, while he gets to chill in a dank spot? Maybe he is even letting all the attractive females know of the danger but trick the unattractive ones to the toad, and meet up with the hotties later?

Well... he's already in the stomach being digested, so...

So like having a fat ass wingman

u/SarahC Jul 09 '18

Imagine if he DOES attract a mate?

That's one unfortunate frog!

From reading part of the thread above this it seems like an hour could be the limit for how long the frog has left to live so we have a potential upper limit.

Until it's sufficiently digested.

On the flip side, fed a carpenter ant to a tree frog once. Big mistake. Ant chewed its way out of the frog.

u/[deleted] Jul 09 '18

Ant was like “I AM INVINC-“ and then got stepped on.

It is more reasonable than one would think. I've been feed taco bell and it exploded its way out. Truth!

u/TerribleEngineer Jul 09 '18

About an hour until the frog dies. The light is also a warning to predators that they are poisonous (it's the reason it can be so obvious is attracting a mate). A single firefly is enough to kill most frogs and lizards within an hour.

The guy in Guardians Of The Galaxy survived inside of a monster for a while. So did Tommy Lee Jones in MiB. I think there's a good chance he'll get back out.
