Pretty sure im correct and getting compiler error about curly braces below get and set

I'm receiving compiler errors on lines 10 and 14 complaining about the braces but get and set do have their own braces. I don't know if its a bug in the challenge or I am mistaken in my code.

Any help is appreciated.

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

        public int NumFliesEaten()
        {
            get
            {
                return _munFliesEaten;
            }
            set
            {
                _numFliesEaten = value;
            }
        }

    }
}

Apologies I have seen my issue. I had () above the get. Answered myself - oh dear.

remove the parentheses after the NumFliesEaten. Unlike a method when defining a property it does not have parentheses. Think about when you use a property it doesn't need parentheses.
