THE SUN (London, UK) 28 September 09 It's Kerm-lit the frog (Harry Haydon)
This frog looks pretty bulb-ous after biting off more than it could chew while hunting for insects.
The unlucky amphibian got its wires crossed after it swallowed the fairy light whole in a botched bid to catch a bug.
The Cuban tree frog was snapped by wildlife photographer James Snyder in his back garden.
The 29-year-old, of Palm Beach, Florida, decorated his yard with the bright lights after realising frogs would flock to eat the swarms of bugs attracted to them.
James, who was hoping to capture the perfect nature pic, said: "I noticed the frog glowing on the tree and at first I thought that the frog was sitting on top of the light.
"I zoomed in and noticed that the wire was actually going into the frogs mouth, he had swallowed the entire light, he wasn't sitting on it at all.
"So I fired off a few more shots, then gently grabbed the wire next to the bulb and slowly pulled it out of his mouth.
"He seamed a little lethargic, maybe drunk on the heat from the bulb, but he came to and slowly crawled away."
James added: "I've seen him again since, so luckily he didn't croak it."

There was a Funniest Home Videos with a kid that this happened to but there were no wires to stop him from trying to digest it.
