I see that every year as well. With about 350 large females in the big pond I get as many as a dozen or so every year that croak on me. Some years less. No emphirical evidence but I suspect a good many reabsorb their eggs too -- maybe because of the lack of males? I say this because I see a lot less eggs than I should. But who knows how many end up on the bottom out of sight?

All is not lost though. I will make a nice stringer mount one of these days. I freeze them up for later use.

If pigs could fly bacon would be harder to come by and there would be a lot of damaged trees.
