Schnapps and Schnaps are pronounced the same, and so you cannot be aware of the difference except by context or spelling. I majored in German at university, and so I'm familiar with the differences in spellings. I have a German to German dictionary, and in it, Schnaps also means brandy, but it primarily means strong alcohol or alcoholic drink (non-specific). In this dictionary, Schnapsidee means "verrückter Einfall." Einfall is another word for idea.

so there were these scientists studying a frog. They decided to teach the frog to jump on command. 'jump frog' they would say. He did. Then they decided to expand the test. 'jump frog' they said. He jumped 16 feet! then they removed one of his legs. 'jump frog' they said. He jumped 12 feet! A second leg was removed. 'jump frog'; he jumped 8 feet. A third leg removed. 'jump frog'. He jumped four feet. They removed his last leg. 'jump frog'. Nothing. 'jump frog' they commanded. Still nothing. Last chance. 'jump frog'. He doesn't move. Their conclusion? 'Frogs without legs can't hear.' science speaks

Many insects. I have had mantis' as pets. I learned to catch flies with a swoop of my hand as a child. It was how we sometimes fed the goldfish in our pond. It was great fun to put live flies into the container with the mantis and watch them catch and eat them. We made bets as to what body part they would start eating first. Yes, we were odd children.

A wide variety of insects, including, unfortunately, pollinator insects such as bees. Also hummingbirds.

I agree that they are pretty indiscriminate eaters and will eat whatever they can catch, including pollinator bees, lady bugs, and hummingbirds. They eat bad insects as well, if there are any. I prefer to have lady bugs, as they do not eat bees or hummingbirds.
