Rupikonnat – Common toads
Koiras pitää lujasti naaraasta kiinni ja kuvista näkyy suuri kokoero niillä on.
The male is holding on tightly to the female and photos show the big size difference between them.

Gimme a five!.... oops, four!
Iso rupikonna, luultavasti naaras, tuli vastaan soratiellä. Autoin sitä kohden viereistä ojaa, ettei jäisi autojen alle. Rupikonna kuluu sammakkoeläimiin ja on ainoa konnamme Suomessa. Näin kutuaikana ne sunnistavat tutuille paikoille lisääntymään.

A large toad, probably a female, came across a gravel road. I helped it towards the nearby ditch so that it wouldn't get run over by a car. The toad belongs to the amphibian class and is the only species of toad in Finland. During the breeding season, they navigate to breed in familiar places.

During the mating season, male common toads cling to the females (amplexus). Since there are usually more males than females, these spots are fiercely contested.

Spring is truly here — the pond has its first toad spawn! 🐸 The long strings of black eggs winding through the water are the unmistakable sign of the common toad (Bufo bufo). Unlike frogs, which lay eggs in clumps, toads wrap their spawn in long double-stranded strings around aquatic plants. Even a small garden pond can play a vital role for amphibians looking for a safe place to breed.

De lente is echt begonnen — de vijver heeft zijn eerste paddeneieren! 🐸 De lange snoeren van zwarte eitjes die door het water kronkelen zijn het onmiskenbare teken van de gewone pad (Bufo bufo). In tegenstelling tot kikkers, die eieren in klompen leggen, wikkelen padden hun kuit in lange dubbelrijige snoeren rond waterplanten. Zelfs een kleine tuinvijver kan een cruciale rol spelen voor amfibieën die op zoek zijn naar een veilige plek om te paaien.

You have to look closely to see all the little lives in the grass. Found this little guy hiding at the edge of the lawn today. 🐸

An unamused common toad (Bufo bufo), cought off-guard by us, geocachers, while looking for our "treasure". Perhaps this was the treasure all along.
