I don't have that problem, it's dark, and frogs mostly react to movement.

I've never seen any animal I've pointed the dish at get nervous, except
humans. And I occasionally do record birds.

The reason I might have is to be noticed less. Though the clear dish is
essentially like a irregularly painted object. And it's pattern always
matches it's surroundings.
