Gakken’s Photo Encyclopedia Ants
""The ant is a familiar insect that you have played with since your childhood. However, there is much information about ants that has remained unknown to you, such as: how many kinds there are, where they live and how they live?" Translated from the 1979 Japanese book of the same name, this delightful site has awesome photographs and whimsical illustrations. The entire encyclopedia is a joy to read; just excuse the occasional lapses in grammar. The best clicks are the sections on How to Catch Ants, How to Keep Ants, and Guidance for Individual Research. Looking for a science project? You’ll find some great ideas here."

Frogwatch USA
"Frogwatch USA is a frog and toad monitoring program managed by the National Wildlife Federation in partnership with the United States Geological Survey. Instead of actually counting frogs, scientists listen for their calls, and record call density on a scale from zero (no frogs heard) to three (a full chorus of continuous frog calls.) To view graphs for your area, click on your state, then choose a site from the left-hand column. Running down the right-hand side, you’ll see links to local species guides, provided by eNature.com."

Froghoo!
"Does this web directory of all things froggie look a little familiar? Perhaps it reminds you of another rather-well known web directory. In addition to being useful as a frog search engine, Froghoo! is just plain fun to explore. Of particular note are the Kids Stuff category, the Species Search (look to the left of the Froghoo! logo) and frogs in the news (to the right of the Froghoo! logo.) Species searches can be customized by keyword, state, vulnerability ( from secure to critically impaired) and level of federal protection."

Exploratorium: Frogs
"My pick of the day comes from The Exploratorium museum of San Francisco. Visit to enjoy the well-written articles, illustrated with photos and video clips. The lead feature, The Amazing Adaptable Frog, is a must see, as is the click-and-hear (ribbit, ribbit) Frog Tracker exhibit. For something a little different, venture beyond biology with Tales and Tours, where you can become acquainted with Frog City, Louisiana or learn about Frog Myths Across Cultures."
