The grass frog, also known as the Common Frog (Rana temporaria), is a fascinating amphibian found in various parts of the world. In Napo, Ecuador, South America, you can come across the Spiny devil katydid (Panacanthus cuspidatus) coexisting with these frogs. This colourful lithograph from c. 1860 showcases the rich biodiversity of this region. However, it's not just in South America where you can find these remarkable creatures. In Yorkshire, England during March, adult Common Frogs gather to spawn in garden ponds. The sight of these amphibians coming together for their annual breeding ritual is truly mesmerizing. During mating season, male Common Frogs form groups and attempt to mate with a single female simultaneously - an event known as a "mating ball. " This unique behavior highlights the competitive nature of these frogs when it comes to reproduction. After successful mating, clusters of tadpoles emerge from their eggs and stick together in shallow areas of garden ponds. These mass gatherings create a spectacle that showcases both the fragility and resilience of life. As time goes on and they develop into froglets, these young Common Frogs can be spotted resting on Duckweed (Lemna sp. ) floating atop garden ponds. Their small size against the vibrant green backdrop creates a picturesque scene that epitomizes summer days spent by tranquil waters. Adult Common Frogs are not limited to water habitats; they can also be found sitting on rocks or other surfaces near bodies of water throughout different regions like West Midlands in England. Their ability to adapt allows them to thrive in diverse environments. In another display of their reproductive prowess, adult pairs engage in amplexus - a tight embrace where males clasp onto females during mating - creating stunning reflections within pools or serene moments captured without any reflection at all.
