I used to wade around in ponds and swamps when I was a kid. Green frogs 
and bullfrogs overwinter as tadpoles and then turn into frogs the 
following summer. I would often encounter tadpoles with hind legs, 
tadpoles with all four legs, froglets with tails, and completely 
transformed froglets with no tails.

Even more remarkable were dragonfly larvae. They live underwater in 
ponds and are active predators, even sometimes catching tadpoles or 
small fish. Then one day the climb up out of the water on reeds or 
sticks, and dry out. Then their skins split open, and out comes... a 
dragonfly!

You don't want to handle dragonfly larvae; they bite.
