The black specs are like mouse poop, I mean oval shape?
They start out as periods and then turn into two periods then turn into commas
(see the writerly analogy here...)
Eventually they start twitching and then they will cling to the side of
whatever is handy while they use up their yolk sack.
Finally they'll start swimming around.
Legs come first, then arms, then they absorb their tail and hop away.
(If this happens in the house ponds, they will hop to the bathroom and try to
attain the porcelain pond.)
