get set problems

Its saying my set doesn't have a correct return type. What am I missing?

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    class Frog
    {
        private NumFliesEaten _numFliesEaten;

        public NumFliesEaten  GetNumFliesEaten()
        {
            return _numFliesEaten;
        }
        public SetNumFliesEaten(NumFliesEaten value)
        {
            _numFliesEaten = value;
        }
    }
}

When you don't return anything, the return type is "void".

That should fix your setter, but you also have a few other issues where you used the old field name "NumFliesEaten" as the return type of the other method, and of the private field itself.
