Checking our seasonal pond to see if the copepods had returned after the
long dry spell when they dried out and disappeared (alas, they have not
returned), I saw a pair of Pacific Tree Frogs apparently mating. I was
surprised at the difference in color and size. Is this common?
And did the dry spell mess up the copepod life cycle? I really like
those little red critters.
