Get ready to hop into action and spend some time learning about how frogs, toads, newts, and salamanders keep our ecosystem running smoothly. Amphibians play a crucial role in controlling populations of disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes. Without them, the unchecked rise of these pests could pose significant threats to humans, livestock, and plants alike.🦎🐸 #Amphibians #Frogs #Toads #Newts #Salamanders #AmphibianWeek2024 📸1, 2, 4: NationalParkService 📸3: U.S.ForestService Image 1: Shenandoah Salamander in ShenandoahNPS Image 2: Lead Biological Technician with a Columbia Spotted Frog in YellowstoneNPS Image 3: Newt crossing the road in OlympicNPS Image 4: Boreal Toad in GlacierNPS
