Pollywogs in the Making
With winter water comes frog eggs. The females release their eggs which the males cover with sperm. When the eggs contact water they soak up water and swell, forming this jelly-like blob. Eventually the eggs will "hatch" into tiny pollywogs that wriggle out of the mass and begin eating algae.
