So we had some rain and my boys were all getting grown so a couple weeks ago I released them all into the driveway pond to become frogs on their own time.
Of course the day I released them (pic above) I noticed a bunch more frog eggs brought on by the rain, floating in their gelatinous clusters on the surface of the water.
Well, this is the current state of the puddle pond
I tried to resist but I'm back on my shit. I scooped up a bunch of tadpoles and put them in my new tote pond which was intended to just be for the fish and water lily
Cloudy from having just dumped in the dredged tadwater.
Got another one of these mysterious fellows. The last one lived in the tank for several weeks and idk what happened to him, he either died or transformed into his flying insect form. Still have no idea wtf it is specifically but I like em.
The tank was cool but I'm liking this more, still in the shade most of the day but a portion gets some good sun for the plants. I like staring down at it from the porch and looking at all the invertebrate life in and around it - tads surfacing, fish swimming, spiders running over the water. Saw a baby skink crawling around on the side of it, and a hornet land and devour the green caterpillar it was carrying, stuff I would've missed if I wasn't looking down at the lawn for ten minutes.
