Tadpoles or pollywogs.

They will become toads.

They make good bait. I suppose you could even stir fry em if you really had to.

either tadpoles or immature hornpout. either can be eaten once they grow. I think if you could trap then in an area until they could be havested you could use it as a food source latet on.

We call them pollywogs. They grow into a frog.

Tadpoles, grow into bullfrogs and you can eat the legs and they taste like crabmeat....if you lifted the rocks there you'd proabably find a crawdad 'er two.

Ok, I'll give it a shot.

They are tadpoles. Likely will grow into leopard frogs which are common in deciduous wetland areas, but hard to tell without seeing them in person. They can be cooked and eaten as is, or used as bait to catch bass and catfish, which are also common in that area, and make much better table fare! Bass and catfish are especially tasty if fried up with some morel mushrooms which are also found in wet deciduous forests in the springtime.

Thanks Kev!

Jeff

They are food, likely to grow into my stomach, just like all tasty animals!

They appear to be juvenile toads, AKA tadpoles. To me, polywogs refer to juvenile frogs and, depending on species, can grow much larger than those in the video. Toads, on the other hand, metamorphose when quite small, developing toxic skin that augers poorly for culinary use.

I agree...tadpoles. Although they could be eaten they are much more effective as fish bait than a meal. Hope you put your hooks in your BOB!

Polliwogs or tadpoles that grow up to be frogs whose legs can be eaten~ although I've never tried any!
