    The mosses that you have probably belong to those called the Tuft Mosses or Forest Moss. Known for their velvety touch and appearance. But definitely not spahnum moss as spaghnum moss are long thick juicy strands and they're very wet in appearance.

    Best Regards,
    Phillipe.

    Bull frogs (non-native species) eat anything that fits their mouths. These include native gecko, frogs, fishes etc. Furthermore they reproduce very fast, hence it best to kill them.
    The most humane way to dispose them is to throw the bull frogs into a plastic bag and pump CO2 into it.
