Nope nopey!

It was luck! Good theory, but my camera really has no delay. Shot the first 
picture, saw the frog twitch, the shutter went off and I didn't know the 
shot was there till I saw the results. He was there at the twitch and gone 
when the mirror came back down. Shutter speed was 1/125 so hence the blur.

Frogs find a way in the house all the time. Across the road is a blueberry 
farm with so many tree frogs that their springtime symphonies can drown out 
the tv which isn't a bad thing at all. Once I was watching a movie that had 
a scene with a loud frog pond. The frogs outside were really worked up, so 
I just opened the door and had stereo frogs!  I should post a shot of a 
frog that got in last year. It was in the bathtub, so with a flash, I had a 
great pure white background!
