Nobody really knows, but there is a definite die-off going on with all amphibians. Frogs, toads, salamanders, newts. Science has been stumped to zero in on a cause. Speculation - climate, virus, fungus, chemicals in water, ground. Then to top it off here in FL, there is an invasive species of Cuban tree frogs that is larger than the native tree frogs. In fact, it is big enough to out-compete natives for food, and also eats the smaller natives for food. FL naturalists say whenever you see a Cuban tree frog, kill it. But I say, a frog is a frog. We can't afford to waste any of them.

You answered yourself:

No different than fish or crawfish dying off in certain waterways. Water temperature rising due to deforestation of stream banks, chemicals, turbidity all contribute.

I say an invasive is an invasive. We need to waste those bastards like LSU wastes talent.

My dog finds at least one every night, barks at it once, watches it until it jumps, when it jumps she runs around in a circle and repeat.

Unable to deal with their meteoric rise to fame after a sequence of budweiser commercials in the early 90's, most frogs ended up turning to drugs. This led many into lives of turmoil and debt, resulting in their eventual disappearance.

Well, everyday on my way home from work I pull over on the side of the road by my house and grab a couple out the ditch. We have them for dinner every night. Now Ive been doing this for quite a few years so I figure I got almost all of them. Tasty little frickers.
