One of the giant (10mm) froglets which have been entertaining grandkids in my garden pond recently. These are the later tranche after adults deposited spawn over a period of about a month during early spring

I found this grub and others in my empty nest box where the Tree Bumblebees had nested. It's a Wax Moth grub which is a known pest in bee hives and common in Tree Bumblebee nests, they eat the wax of the cells and the colony can fail. I can't tell if that was the case here or if it was just the time the new queens leave the nest
