Frogs & Tadpoles in Botanical Garden

There is a stream and several ponds in the Botanical Garden. So I went there three times for aqutaic insects. Of course, I can always find different frogs and their offsprings during the exploring.


In March, a lot of eggs could be found in the stream.


I took some to my dormitory and they grow very fast. You can find tadlopes swimming after one week.


Eggs of a toad, quite different from frog’s.


One month later, masses of tadpoles appear in ponds. Every child in the garden was holding nets and cans to catch some.


I also took some to feed my dragonflies.


Toad’s tadlopes are black and abundant while frog’s are gray and only can be found in running streams.


It’s time to…


a frog found in stream


I’m not sure if it is the same species with the above one


A young toad


They hide under the stones in the stream, so you have to turn oven stones to find them


Am I beautiful ?
