in the oak grove + also the 10 Rattus sets - in the
rain. The spoke-feet were out in force + I easily
picked up 10, most of which were calling from small
pond ; one pair in pelvic amplexus was preserved.
2/2 were calling while floating in the H2O with hind
legs sprawling. Sometimes they grasped veg. with
their fore feet. Occasionally 2/2 moved about &
investigated other individuals. These 10 were left in
a plastic bag overnight [crossed out] + by morning many
eggs had been shed, a few of which were preserved
also.
