froglet
Newly emerged amphibian
A froglet is a young frog that has recently completed metamorphosis—it has absorbed its tail and developed legs but hasn't yet reached adult size.
The term distinguishes this stage from both the aquatic tadpole and the mature frog: The froglets emerged from the pond in early summer.
