He is indeed very big, one of the largest I have ever seen. I didn't measure him, but he is at least 5 inches long, and quite bulky. He pretty much fills the bottom of that 5-gallon bucket he is in. He appears to be a male, by the size of the "ears" compared to the size of the eyes.
The blue areas are color noise or artifacts. I edited this image on my laptop. and none of that was visible. Now, loo0king at the image on Squarespace using my desktop, it is not only visible, but horrible! Thanks for calling it to my attention. I shall re-edit the image when I have an opportunity. This guy scared the hell out of my wife a few days ago. he was literally swimming laps in the deep end of the pool. Lee tried to net him, without success. She went into the house to ask my assistance, but when I got there, he was nowhere to be seen. There was no evidence of him for three days -- either he got out of the pool or was hiding in the plumbing. two mornings ago, he suddenly appeared in the skimmer when my wife went to clean it out. Again, but the time I got there, he had disappeared. I deduced that he was hiding between the entrance to the skimmer and the basket that collects debris. I had lee hold a large deep net over the outside of the skimmer while I poked around, using another net, where I thought he was hiding. SDure enough, he darted out of the skimmer into the net, and was trapped there when Lee twisted it 90 degrees. I managed to get him into the bucket, and twice he almost escaped while I was trying to take his picture. In the past, we have released frogs into the creek that runs through the woods to the west of our lot. Three managed to0 return to the pool, one three separate times. I wanted to remove him permanently from our pool, so we drove across the highway and across the North Branch of the Raritan River, where I deposited him on the far bank of the river. I hope the natural and man-made barriers will keep him at a distance. Thanks again for looking and for pointing out the ugliness of my rendering.
