Has anyone noticed day or so old frogs everywhere?? In all my years of nature watching, I have never seen such a phenomenon! I cant understand whats going on at all. Any others seen the same?? Regards. |

Not really a phenomenon  If you think about it, the frogspawn is laid all together so the amount of eggs all develop at roughly the same rate. That's why they're all that age. I see it quite a bit- very cute.

Perhaps I should have explained in more detail regarding these frogs??
Yes I agreee not strange at all to see frogs at the same age everywhere. Sometimes one cannot walk in a straight line for them etc, owing to the mass hatch! However these tiny 2/5 day old frogs should be adult, or eaten by predators at this time of year. Being August these tiny frogs are way behind in development. Regards. |

They are about on time, depending on your location and the conditions of the pond emergence will vary afew weeks either way. They certainally wont be adult by now it will take them 2-3 years before they are sexually mature adults. |

I thought that they be mature at a year old obviously not. Mind you they do not grow very quick from watching my own pond theyve been an inch long for months shei.
