whys it called "frogspawn"?

[zum14]

hmmm. i dunno. All the images of frog eggs on google are like a clear gel with a bunch of black dots in it. I can see if the person who found it decided to nickname it that but if later on if it was decided it didnt look like what it was called it would get nicknamed something else. I dunno, it doesnt really bother me but i need to figure something out cause everytime i say the word frogspawn it sparks the whole thing back up again.
