A four-panel comic. In panel 1, a wood frog stands on a pink background. The text says: "Feeling unlucky in love? Did you know that male Wood Frogs have difficulty perceiving members of their species? Here are some things they’ve been documented trying to mate with." "Spotted Salamander." The wood frog looks at a large yellow-spotted salamander, with a heart over the frog's head. "Cattail." The frog looks amorously at a large cattail flower or "sausage." "Green frog." The wood frog looks at a large confused-looking green frog. "Dead fish." The wood frog stares at a large dead fish. "Live fish." The wood frog looks amorously at a large trout. "Pine cone." The wood frog looks at a large pine cone. The final text says: "Sorry, there's no moral here. I just thought you'd enjoy this fact about frogs."ALT

Wood Frog. This year’s Valentine’s comic.

Here’s one trying to mate with a spotted sally from a survey I did in college 💛🖤🤎

Once they’re in amplexus (the gripping pose) they’re super tough to remove! I just let him do his thang. They only do external fertilization (same with the sallies) so nothing too “🤨” is going on here

That salamander is very unenthused about the whole thing
