I don't know what is wrong here ?

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

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