Though improbable in the real world, I thought it would be cool to see Wood Frog, Spotted Salamander, and Northern Leopard Frog eggs all on the same twig in a vernal pool. So, with this piece I mean to represent that: Wood Frog (<em>Lithobates sylvaticus<\/em>) on the bottom, Spotted Salamander (<em>Ambystoma maculatum) <\/em>in the middle, and Northern Leopard Frog (<em>Lithobates pipiens<\/em>)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/08\/Egg-masses-on-twig_LutherMillison-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-367\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/08\/Egg-masses-on-twig_LutherMillison-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/08\/Egg-masses-on-twig_LutherMillison-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/08\/Egg-masses-on-twig_LutherMillison-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/08\/Egg-masses-on-twig_LutherMillison-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blog.uvm.edu\/bmosher1-fieldherp\/files\/2020\/08\/Egg-masses-on-twig_LutherMillison-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Art by Luther Millison.

When I see amphibian eggs I immediately think of dark ink, and I also feel some complimentary nature between wet brush strokes and the wet jelly that surrounds these eggs.
