What do most adult frogs eat?

Most adult frogs are insectivores that primarily consume insects, worms, and other small arthropods. They typically use their long, sticky tongues to capture fast-moving prey with high precision.12

While the majority of species focus on small invertebrates, some larger frogs are carnivorous and capable of consuming vertebrates. These larger species may eat other frogs, mice, small snakes, birds, and turtles. A frog's specific diet is largely determined by its habitat and the local availability of prey. This carnivorous adult diet marks a significant shift from the tadpole stage, during which most frogs are herbivorous and feed on algae and plant matter.12
