Click to see how cute they are....
If you follow me each day, you will remember the
Tadpole Groaner Post from Sept 26. I have been
watching annoying our rain barrel babies. It all started in August when there were a million little black eggs floating in the pool and in the rain barrel. Now 8 weeks later, Voila! Look what happened!
I asked Bob, what is the difference between a Tadpole and a Pollywog? he said Ask Google.
The first answer to the question was my favorite.
A tadpole will produce a frog that croaks with an English accent. A polliwog will produce a frog that croaks with an American accent..........
If you look closely you can see some of these have only front, or only rear legs, and a couple are itty bitty cute little frogs. These frogs will not get any larger than what is comfy on a dime.
Sorry the lighting is so bad, but if I flood the barrel with light it scares them away, If i get to close it scares them way down deep in the bottom......soooo
Got this from Wikipedia...
The name "tadpole" is from Middle English taddepol, made up of the elements tadde, "toad", and pol, "head" (modern English "poll"). Similarly, "polliwog" is from Middle English polwygle, made up of the same pol, "head" and wiglen, "to wiggle"
Tadpole or Pollywog, they are darn cute. I choose Pollywog because it looks good with Paparazzi.
this last photo came out like this, right out of the camera, there are little tadpoles in it, you just cant see them.
