Full origin of frogspawn →Frequently asked questions
What is frogspawn?
It's the jelly-like clump of eggs that frogs lay in ponds and ditches.
Why does frogspawn appear in ponds in spring?
Frogs lay their eggs in still water such as ponds and ditches, and the jelly around each egg helps protect it as it develops.
Is frogspawn safe to touch?
Frogspawn itself is just eggs in a jelly coating, so gently observing or scooping some into a jar of pond water is a common way to watch tadpoles hatch.
