IIRC Scott says he's seen his toad tadpoles get hammered by his LMB - not sure about his BF tadpoles. The enzyme or pheromone excreted by tadpoles making them distasteful to predators makes sense - how else could a tadpole ever make it adulthood otherwise? They are slow and defenseless. I wish my fish could make a meal of them - my WRs would be through the roof. I think Tony should perform some scientific research and taste test them...hey, it's for the advancement of the forum!
Forget the worm in the tequila...next season's maple syrup will feature a tadpole in a few select bottles, intended for close acquaintances.
