Common Toad hatchling I was walking around the edges of a very small pond when I noticed all kinds of stuff jumping on the floor. The creatures looked so tiny that I thought they were insects. Upon a closer look I noticed they were amphibians of only a few mm in size. Probably this is the first day of its life. In the pond itself I found many thousands more eggs.
