A Farmer Found Strange Eggs in His Field—What Hatched Changed His Life Forever

At dawn, 64-year-old farmer Thomas walked his soybean fields, as he had for decades. But that morning, he spotted something strange: clusters of glowing, bluish orbs in the mud.

Puzzled, he snapped photos and sent them to a biologist he once met. By the next day, she arrived with colleagues—and confirmed what Thomas had found: tree frog eggs. The species had never been seen in that part of the state before.
Shifting temperatures and rainfall had quietly redrawn their habitat, making Thomas’s farm a new breeding ground.
