As much as I've looked for frog eggs and tadpoles these are the first I've found that were close enough to capture. These were small. Visible frogs included green frogs and leopard frogs.
Will the larvicide and spraying for mosqitoes affect them? Perhaps they didn't get "treated" because they are in a pond near Indian Creek Nature Center.

I suppose it is easy to count the ones in shot, but there are hundreds in the pond at present. It's a good thing that so many die before maturity or we should be walking on frogs and toads all summer.
The tadpoles in the ponds are slowly changing into froglets. on this lilypad you can see the different changes they go through...
IC 410, aka "the Tadpole nebula",is located 12,000 lightyears from Earth in the Auriga constellation, and is nicknamed the Tadpole Nebula because of the tadpole-shaped clouds of dark dust that appear to be swimming towards the centre.
The Tadpole Nebula is a region of ionised hydrogen gas spanning over 100 lightyears across that's carved and sculpted by streams of charged particles called stellar winds emanating from open star cluster NGC 1893.
NGC 1893 is about 4 million years old, but in astronomical terms it is still very young, with hot, massive stars.
The 'tadpoles' that give the nebula its nickname are dense streams of dust and gas about 10 lightyears long, are composed of dust and gas leftover from the formation of the star cluster and are very likely to give birth to more stars in the future.
This telescopic close-up shows off the otherwise faint emission nebula IC 410 in striking false-colours. It also features two remarkable inhabitants of the cosmic pond of gas and dust below and left of centre, the tadpoles of IC 410. The picture is a composite of images taken through narrow band filters. The bi-colour narrow band image data traces atoms in the nebula, with emission from oxygen atoms in blue, hydrogen atoms in red, and a synthetic green made from oxygen and hydrogen. Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic cluster of stars that energizes the glowing gas. Composed of denser cooler gas and dust the tadpoles are around 10 light-years long, potentially sites of ongoing star formation. Sculpted by wind and radiation from the cluster stars, their tails trail away from the cluster's central region. IC 410 lies some 12,000 light-years away, toward the constellation Auriga.

Only managed two filters before clouds came in so decided to try bi-colour processing using the technique outlined at www.starrywonders.com/bicolortechnique.html along with tone mapping. Looking to add SII subs when the sky clears again.

Following a recent short break with my wife at Hastings, I dug out some negatives from nearly forty years ago. Class 206/1 1113 departs for Ashford on 21 June 1986, one of NSE's Network Days.
By this time, electrification from Tonbridge to Ore was in place, leaving withdrawn class 201-203 units scattered around awaiting disposal. The extensive sidings are no more, partially covered by buildings occupied by East Sussex College. The station itself was later rebuilt.

Last week, they were still surrounded by their gelatinous walls, today they have hatched, but still stay close to each other, very close indeed! I guess they are from Rana temporaria frogs
We have been looking after our tadpoles for 6 weeks now and my daughters are eagerly waiting their legs.
Based on observations made with the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope, and obtained from the Hubble Legacy Archive, which is a collaboration between the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI/NASA), the Space Telescope European Coordinating Facility (ST-ECF/ESA) and the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC/NRC/CSA).

These tadpoles were in a jelly clump atop a leaf in the cloud forest in Colombia - not close to water. I'm sure that's normal for these rainforest frogs, but it had been unusually dry. Hopefully enough rain fell after we saw them to keep them hydrated.
This year had less frog spawn than last, but still plenty for the pond, which is only small anyway.
If they are not fed, they could well eat each other. This is hedgehog pellets but I also put fish food in too until they start to grow legs.
IC 410 contains two remarkable inhabitants of the cosmic pond of gas and dust above and left of center, the tadpoles of IC 410. Partly obscured by foreground dust, the nebula itself surrounds NGC 1893, a young galactic cluster of stars. Formed in the interstellar cloud a mere 4 million years ago, the intensely hot, bright cluster stars energize the glowing gas. Composed of denser cooler gas and dust, the tadpoles are around 10 light-years long and are likely sites of ongoing star formation. Sculpted by winds and radiation from the cluster stars, their heads are outlined by bright ridges of ionized gas while their tails trail away from the cluster's central region. IC 410 lies some 10,000 light-years away, toward the nebula-rich constellation Auriga.
This image was started back in early November and I have been waiting for clear skies to finally collect the remaining data on this object. I went with a SHO color palate to try and highlight more of the structure in the nebulae. I changed from the standard landscape orientation to a portrait orientation as I felt this made the image more balanced to the eye.
Thanks for looking!

Complete details here,
I'm posting this summer shot for: Wannabe Warmer Wednesday [ WWW ]. I had to go way back in my archives for this one.
Taken at Ridgefield Wildlife Refuge--Kiwa Trail.
With threats of snow mixed w/ rain today...it is nice to see something from a much warmer day~ These tadpoles were sunbathing at the surface of the pond.
