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 ?
That's so cool!!!Who knew that toad's egg looks like a long string..0.0..Mingfei rocks!!!XD...
ReplyDeleteFantastic information and pics again Mingfei. I did not know how to tell the difference between the eggs so I have learnt a lot new and interesting today. Thank you very much. :)
ReplyDeleteRE:Wind Walker...
ReplyDeleteActually I'm not sure about that because I've never feed toads from eggs while I've tried frogs.
RE:SAPhotographs (Joan)
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. I've tried to feed frogs from eggs, so I know that well. But I've never tried to keep toads. The information was told by my friends and I know little about them.

ReplyDeletethey are tasmanian found in claremont
RE:brendon
ReplyDeleteThank you brendon. I'm sorry but I don't know much about amphibians. I can identify these species bacause they are quite common here. Maybe you have to feed them until they grow into frogs or toads...
I ignored that the eggs of toads were that different by comparison with the eggs of frogs, I think one of the slight differences is that toad's eggs are smaller and the color changes a bit.
