The amphibians came out to court and mate on the rainy evening last Saturday that I wrote about, and among the critters I collected to show my grandkids, all of the frogs and salamanders were single... all, except this pair. These two Wood Frogs were locked together in the classic batrachian mating position known as amplexus, and while I'm not exactly sure it was quite sane to show them to impressionable youngsters, well, the grandboys are teens so they've already been through sex-ed. Since my almost-seven-year-old granddaughter has been with me on countless nature walks in which we often see signs of mating, I just figured I'd answer whatever questions she might have had. Either she already knew what was going on, or she hadn't thought to ask, but in any case, she just let this pair go without much comment. Four days after I'd collected them, they were still in amplexus, the smaller, dark male on top and locked around the female, and on tonight's suitable rainy dusk, with lots of Wood Frog males calling to hopefully interested females, I decided it was time to let the dedicated pair find a suitable place to finish the job of bringing forth the Class of 2017.
