And ... they eat all other insects in your house! Not so cool though when you didn't realize there was a spider "nest" on the wall, and all those eggs hatch and run across the ceiling and walls.
The frogs are looking great!

Here's a first look at the Iberian Frog from Spain... it's similar in marking to the European Common Frog but is more colorful and more patterned
3 more to go... the Giant Monkey Frog plus the Northern and Southern Leopard Frogs

The base set of Frogs should show up today in the store. This set will allow you to finally retire that 20+ year old stock Poser/Studio Frog model with something a little more state-of-the-art. Granted, some of you won't care about functioning Nictating Membranes (that's a protective film that allows frogs to see while swimming underwater) or a functioning tongue and throat air sac (yes, the old frog doesn't have any of those), but the top notch textures, better joint bending and over 80 morphs will have most skeptics cheering, "My Prince has arrived!".
This model comes with the California Red-legged Frog made famous by Mark Twain's story, "The Celebrated Jumping Frog of Calaveras County" and the European Common Frog who is believed to be the inspiration behind the Brothers Grimm story "The Frog Prince". The set comes in two versions; a Poser version that supports Firefly and Superfly rendering and a DAZ Studio version which supports 3Delight and Iray rendering.
On my website in the Nature's Wonders Store/Download section, Frogs has some free materials that will give a "drier" look to the two frogs included (for those who want them less slimy).
Also showing up today is Flock Formations2-- it's a sequel to my popular prop-based groups of flying birds. This set will be ground based and include 6 types of bird; Finches, Pigeons, Geese, Sparrows, Sandpipers and Quail. Each bird in the prop has individual up/down positioning. Each prop also includes some morphs to vary the look/placement of the group as well as multiple materials to change the bird species. A prop seed pile is included.
And for those who haven't figured it out yet, we've turned the corner towards the 'end of April' and are nearing "Earth Day" (April 22nd) and J.J.Audubon's birthday (April 26th) and that can only mean one thing to Songbird ReMix/Nature's Wonders fans everywhere...
Yes, it's the one time of the year when all my products (except new releases) are 50% off (or more when you add in Reward Points). At the end of the sale I will donate at least 35% of the proceeds to Audubon's efforts to save the Tri-colored Blackbird (and other endangered species). Audubon has a great track record with using the donated funds-- for every dollar, at least one bird is saved. See more about the Tri-colored Blackbird.

YAY!!
BTW @Ken Gilliland, when I was at your site downloading the freebie "Dry" materials for the new Frog Base a few minutes ago, I also tried to download the Calmer Water Material download for Duck Pond, but it's giving me a 404 error. Thought you might want to check into that.
