Thank you so much,Susan. To watch the transformation from polka dot to froglet with my children years ago, was amazing.

Enjoyed this, Wendy. Haven't seen frog "bubble wrap" yet this year, but have heard them recently. Sure sign of Spring. Best to you. ~Eric

Thank you for reading and commenting, Eric. It's a yearly event in our pond and my son and I once videoed the progress from tiny black spot to froglet - an amazing journey!

Lovely to hear from you, Edward. Thank you for such a kind comment. This was prompted by seeing a fresh lump of frogspawn in the pond a few days ago.

Thank you, Rico. It's sitting on top of our pond as I speak and it was wonderful to do a school project with my son when he was much younger watching the development to froglets.
