Staff Pick of the Week
My staff pick this week is a volume from the Childcraft series from W.F. Quarrie & Company. This is volume 14 of 14, and it focuses on Science and Industry. The W.F. Quarrie Company was also the publisher of the World Book Encyclopedia from 1919-1945, but thatās about all I could find out about the company.Ā
The series is meant to be educational and fun for children, with other volumes featuring subjects likeĀ āExperience Stories and Animal Friendsā andĀ āArt and Music.ā Unfortunately, we only have volume 14, but it is plenty cute and full of great pictures and illustrations. Today Iāve chosen to focus on the science half of science and industry and the color illustrations of fish, frogs, and turtles. The fish shown here are Pumpkinseed Sunfish (Eupomotis gibbosus), engaged in various fishy activities, including stealing worms off a fisherās hook! The frogs are Leopard Frogs (Rana pipiens) and are shown here as eggs, tadpoles, and adult frogs, one of which can be seen eating a mouse! The turtles are Painted Turtles (Chrysemys picta), shown in the centerĀ āat their favorite sport, lazily basking on a waterlogged tree trunk.āĀ

caught this trespasser on my property today
frog of the day :)
lithobates palustris, Common name: pickerel frog
(image source)
Habitat:Ā Ponds, lakes and other bodies of water. They mainly live aquatically though they occasionally lwill eave the water. Ones that live in the north prefer colder water near rocks, Southern variations prefer warmer water near damp grasses.
Found in: North America
Fun fact(s): They are actually toxic, which is less common in aquatic frog species. They are not toxic enough to kill or even hurt a human that much, but they can kill other animals about their own size. They excrete these toxins when stressed - so itās important to be extra careful if you touch one
In the past they where put in the extremely large large rana genus, but they where later put in the, also quite large, lithobates genus. They are in the leopard frog sub group, which is not an official subgenus, but instead a common-name derived group name for a good number ofĀ lithobates frogs who all have similar,Ā spotted, patterns

Leopard Frogs
Sometimes they are called "meadow frogs" because they can be found around meadows.
The reason they hang around meadows is because adults and juveniles commonly feed in open or semi-open wet meadows and fields with short vegetation. The meadows are usually near water where they seek cover underwater.
Little froggy that almost became minced meat.Ā Good thing it didnāt jump as the mower blades were turning.Ā Thankfully, I shooed it away.
Hopping Frog - July 2019 Van Meter State Park, Miami MO One of the results of taking hundreds and hundreds of blind images was that I actually caught several Leopard Frogs flying through the air. These two images, because they were taken out in the grass where the light was better, are much clearer images. The frogs are in mid-jump, so it is possible to see how long their legs are with respect to their bodies. I like these images because both pictures are obviously images of movement. Despite its small size, you can sense the power of the jump that propels the frog through the air. MWM
