On April 6, my son and I began a rescue mission. We decided to try and hatch some of the frog eggs in his pond. We gathered three groups of eggs. Two were "pods" of eggs attached to a stick and one group was a cluster floating on top of the water. I say rescued because turtles had already consumed a fair share of them. We were unsure what type of eggs we had, one group being loosely connected, floating on top of the water. The other two clumps of eggs were firm clear jelly filled with green transparent eggs. Josh and I weren't sure what we had. Why were the eggs so different? Were they all frog eggs? Maybe two different types of frogs? Salamanders or newts? Frogs in different stages of development? hmm...
