Albino? Gray Tree Frog

Every so often I’ll get a brood of Gray Tree Frogs (Hyla versicolor), but this year 1/4 of the tadpoles came out very light colored and/or golden. The first one has emerged as a frog!

To me, the 1/4 ratio sounds like both parents were heterozygous for the lighter colored morph, whether it be true albino or something else.

Standard color for comparison.

Shiny roll poly?

I found this little guy in my compost and he really stuck out. Shiny or just freshly molted or something?

Request: Seed storage systems

How do you organize your seeds? Every season I drive myself crazy with the amount of seeds I end up collecting. Store-bought seed packets come in a very nice, mostly uniform size, but they aren’t resealable. Do you have an envelope size (available in the US preferably) that you’ve found useful? What do you do with your bulkier seeds like corn and sunflowers?

Simple tomato trait diagram?

I’m looking for a simple chart that shows how to breed certain traits for tomatoes. Just a quick reference that would tell things like which traits are dominant or recessive for common traits like determinate/indeterminate and cherry type vs slicer size. Bonus points if it includes fruit colors.

My main goal is to just have a reference that you could piece together what would happen, for example, if you crossed a determinate yellow cherry x indeterminate red beefsteak, etc.
