Good news, frogs are in the backyard pond. Skittish as hell, I had to take this from afar, and probably not totally thawed out in this 40°F weather (pond is colder).

Tower of frog

Las ranas Spea bombifrons pero en la época de apareamiento, en noches lluviosas, incluso nadan. Se agrupan cientos de individuos para comenzar una orgía que producirá miles de huevos en tan solo un par de días.USFWS Mountain-Prairie #ranas #frogs

'Pond life' is sometimes used as an insult applied to particularly contemptible people but I feel that this is unfair to actual pond-dwelling creatures which, by contrast, are mostly harmless and frequently fascinating lifeforms.
Frogspawn is a case in point. You can see that our tiny garden pond is full of the stuff. Zoom in and you can tell that the embryos are starting to elongate towards the shape of a tadpole.

Good morning! Today is a bit of a grey and rainy day, which feels like the perfect pretext to share this illustration!

Hi! Have a lovely weekend

I love hearing the mating song of the Spring Peepers because I know this ritual has played out every year for the past 10,000 years in this same vernal pool that was created when the glaciers last receded from Michigan. You can hear them in this short video. #frogs #wildlife #nature #photography

For #SciFri, I've authored a PSA on why it is not wise to move frogspawn between ponds, including information and guidance from a number of sources. Hopefully, a number of people find it useful! #Herpetology #Amphibians #Frogs #FrogFriday
