but surely it was the insertion of the needle-like mouth parts that killed the toads its their only 'weapon'?
I mean its fine obviously its your pond and its up to you how you manage it of course it is, I just think they probably were eating the toads - just maybe a little bit of each - there's probably not a great deal of juicy stuff inside a tiny toad.
