Hi, Need a little help here. I found THREE TYPES of tadpoles and want to identify them. ALL found in NY state.
FIRST: Larger in size 2" without tail, found in a perm. POND where snakes, newts, turles also live.
SECOND: Medium in size probably 1-1/4" without tail, found on other side of street WHERE above pond is BUT this part MOSTLY drys up later in the year, but is a SLOW process and may not dry completely.
THIRD: VERY VERY TINY! 1/4"-1/2" without tail Found in a pool of water that RUNS off a CREEK but is probably a vernal type(maybe snow melt) BECAUSE it DOES dry up totally by end of summer. The water was VERY( 2-6" ) shallow and found tads similiar to these (i think) last july with legs but water was going away pretty fast. (gone by august-sept)
