Frogs Only Please.....

[j.w]

Alrighty then but I would like to have some of whatever I found on the net that is actually the Starwort as it sounds cool! Maybe I can find it at a lake around here and hope the fish don't like to eat it like the duckweed cuz that stuff never lasts long in my pond.

thanks j.w., i wish the frogs could realize their habitat has been spared. Maybe they're psychic and know already, they seem to know when a bug is around anyway

Are you referring to the LIGHT green plant? It's duckweed.

No it's not, it is Starwort. I do have also have duckweed but that is Starwort in the picture.

Trust me, that picture is duckweed. Callitriche has a stem up to 15" long, with narrow, long leaves.

Trust me, it is Starwort as I'm looking at the label which came with the plant when I put it in the pond in that exact location.

And so the mass exodus has almost completed. Watching the tadpoles and developing frogs has come to an end for another year. It was good fun watching those tiny little things clamber out the pond and disappear into the small stone crevices and beyond.

I wonder how many will return?

From today, this fella is big

Here is a tree frog at night. Posted in the photography section also

I've been watching this little fella in my small wildlife pond. He's very shy but managed to get a photo of him before he vanished:

I vote with Figgy, it has stems and the leaves are growing from stem, then stretch across the pond to another set of leaves. Duckweed is a mass of leaves, or what I have is. Plus, duckweed in my stream is teeny tiny, those tiny tads would still be MUCH larger than the duckweed.

My friend who live a mile away from me told me today she have many tadpoles so my son and I went to her house with a bucket. We came home with about 20 different kind of tads. Some already almost through the process. So now I have about 4 tree frogs which I hope they stick around...

 

[CountryEscape]

Awwwww adorable babies, Nepen! I hear tree frogs here, but as yet have NEVER spotted one. I think I have the type that are actually in or on my trees, and they are so camoflauged they are nearly impossible to spot ... or that's my excuse.

Caught a tadpole a few days ago, put it in my bog yesterday. Doubtful a single tadpole will survive the few months it needs to transform, but still cool. Hope someday I have a bunch of these naturally in my bog.

You never know he might just surprise you

My frogs lay eggs in the bog, then I end up with tons of tads they manage to survive. The frogs live in the bog, one of their favorite places to be.

Mine doesn't really have any place to hide. I could see a Robin taking it for food.The plants aren't really filling in well. I think my daylily is just barely hanging on. Rushes are doing great, though. They just aren't cover plants.

Throw in a piece of floating plastic or liner for it to hide under or anything non-poison that floats. He might have a chance then
