A Pacific Tree Frog Tadpole.

Who can remember collecting tadpoles in a jar and watching them develop? Sometimes it’s good to have young children along to bring those memories back! This fellow already has his back legs.

  Thanks! When I was a kid I don’t know how many hours I spent watching tadpoles changing into frogs whether in a pond or in a jar but it was quite a few. Posted 5 years ago

  It is. Some of the tadpoles have advanced enough to be released as air breathing frogs just nine days after their “capture”. The ditch where they were caught has nearly dried up so an alternative release site is being considered. Posted 5 years ago
