Replace the accessor methods with a property named NumFliesEaten with a getter and setter for _numFliesEaten.

I don't understand why it doesn't work.

Frog.cs 
namespace Treehouse.CodeChallenges
{
    public class Frog
    {
        private int _numFliesEaten;

        public NumFliesEaten
        {
            get
            {
                return _numFliesEaten;
            }
            set
            {
                _numFliesEaten = value;
            }
        }


    }
}

:point_right: You forgot to declare type type of NumFliesEaten.

It should be the same type as the underlying private field. Otherwise, your property access methods look good.
