There are also many members of Nematocera that are active in snow. Some species of Carabidae, even (for instance Nebria nivalis).

Sounds convincing. I liked the way they jump. Now I don't have to worry about the spider, he'll be fed ))))))

"WE ARE NOT CUTE!" *HISSSSS*

Something is weird: are they able to climb and be on their own at that age? And all packed together like that? Looks like someone put them there for a video, no?

So you "stepped on a frog" is what you say? lol

No. More often than not, it is ‘att göra en groda’ (to do a frog). But, then, in general, it has to do with mis-sayings rather than missteps. For the latter category, ‘klavertramp’ (a step in the piano’s keybed) or ‘att trampa i klaveret’ (to step in the piano’s keybed) is what we’d typically use.

Although there are quite a few different ways of saying it, I think I’ve covered the most common ones (‘groda,’ ‘fadäs,’ ‘klavertramp’). ‘Tabbe’! – did I say ‘tabbe’? No.

‘Tabbe.’

But not too often – though enough. I count as gain
That once I met, on a sea tin-tacked with rain,
That roomsized monster with a matchbox brain

Basking Shark​

by Norman MacCaig

from The Many Days: Selected Poems of Norman MacCaig (Polygon 2011)



To stub an oar on a rock where none should be,
To have it rise with a slounge out of the sea
Is a thing that happened once (too often) to me.

But not too often – though enough. I count as gain
That once I met, on a sea tin-tacked with rain,
That roomsized monster with a matchbox brain.

He displaced more than water. He shoggled me
Centuries back – this decadent townee
Shook on a wrong branch of his family tree.

Swish up the dirt and, when it settles, a spring
Is all the clearer. I saw me, in one fling,
Emerging from the slime of everything.

So who’s the monster? The thought made me grow pale
For twenty seconds while, sail after sail,
The tall fin slid away and then the tail.
