So I'm not the only one who's had this scare beforeI got that with both my American Bullfrogs (Rana Catesbeiana) a few months back, I was so scared that they had Tapeworms or worse, and since they're both W/C it seemed so likely to me. But after close examination of the 'tapeworm segments', a ton of research, and the rather unpleasant dissection of a large, drowned female Cricket (Both of my Bullfrogs' tanks are compromised of over 75% water with little land area), I found out they were cricket eggs. Such a relief

Just as a sidenote for anyone curious as to what kind of cricket you'll find the eggs in, typically you'll find Cricket Eggs in feces if you feed larger, 4-6 week old crickets, specifically the large, plump females typically around an inch or longer, so finding Cricket Eggs will be very common if you've got frogs with big appetites!
