If you look very carefully, you will spot the frog

Frog-tastic

There were two large plastic buckets full of water almost hidden under the ivy near my backdoor - covered in duckweed, as duckweed seems to spread of its own volition - and undoubtedly mosquito sinks.  It was only when I emptied them that I realised they had frogs in - so I had to reinstate both the full buckets of water AND the duckweed and worry about what I had done to remove the ivy.  The frogs, it seems, climb up the ivy branches to get to the water.  Now if i could be sure the frogs would eat all the mosquitos as they hatch, we would all be fine.
