A Batrachomyia larva parasites a Litoria genimaculata frog. Though Chloropidae generally do not attack vertebrates directly, the larvae of the Australian frog flies, genus Batrachomyia, are exceptions. They cause myiasis in frogs. The parent fly, like most adult Chloropidae, feeds mainly on plant juices, but it lays its eggs near the frog.
They have been used in companion planting as pest control in agricultural and garden situations, and in households. Certain plants have shown effectiveness as topical repellents for haematophagous insects, such as the use of lemon eucalyptus in PMD, but incomplete research and misunderstood applications can produce variable results.

The diurnal frogs live along the rainforest ground near streams or puddles that form. Notably, P. bicolor is a member of the family Dendrobatidae, or poison dart frog. P. bicolor, along with the rest of the Phyllobates species, produce a neurotoxin known as a batrachotoxin that inhibits specific transmembrane channels in cells. [3]
The American green tree frog is considered monotypic, but clinal variation has been observed from Florida north along the Atlantic coastal plain. This may be attributed to the result of strong selection and/or drift. [4] American green tree frogs prefer to live in open canopy forests with a permanent water source and filled with plentiful ...
There are hundreds of itty-bitty frogs swimming in the shallow water below the board. Maureen scoops a handful of them up with her hand. They each leap off and dive back in with their frog buddies.

This is also due to ponds drying up, killing any remaining tadpoles. While other frog species predict the viability of ponds before laying their eggs, it appears Phrynomantis microps does not. Phrynomantis microps also live much farther away from ponds than other frog species, which could make visiting ponds to check their viability more costly.
