Default Tadpole Identification Table

At the Spring Auction there was some uncertainty about the species of a tadpole. Fortunately there is a standard Tadpole Identification Table. They are classified by the number of upper and lower tooth rows. Just take the tadpole, put its mouth against a microscope slide, get your magnifying glass and count tooth rows, and voila! you can tell the species. (I had to memorize them all in grad school: we weren't allowed to use the table.)
