Cercopidae are the largest family of Cercopoidea, a xylem-feeding insect group, commonly called froghoppers. [2] They belong to the hemipteran suborder Auchenorrhyncha.A 2023 phylogenetic study of the family suggested the elevation of the New World subfamily Ischnorhininae to full family status as Ischnorhinidae, leaving a monophyletic Old World Cercopinae.
The superfamily Cercopoidea, some members of which are called froghoppers and still others known as spittlebugs, are a group of hemipteran insects in the suborder Auchenorrhyncha. Adults are capable of jumping many times their height and length, giving the group their common name, but many species are best known for their plant-sucking nymphs ...
A few of the larger ones may eat other frogs, small mammals and reptiles, and fish. [160] [161] A few species also eat plant matter; the tree frog Xenohyla truncata is partly herbivorous, its diet including a large proportion of fruit, floral structures and nectar.
A fully grown female Argentine Horned Frog (females are generally larger than males) can easily eat a grown rat. They are sit and wait predators. [3] These frogs are also known to be cannibalistic, and have been known to eat their mates, even if they are larger than they are.
The African bullfrog is a voracious carnivore, eating insects and other invertebrates, small rodents, reptiles, small birds, fish, and other amphibians that can fit in their mouths. [5] [9] [10] It is also a cannibalistic species—the male African bullfrog is known for occasionally eating the tadpoles he guards, [11] and juveniles also eat ...
“They live on people's houses and come out at night and eat bugs around your porch light,” said Sollenberger. “They don't really cause problems. But the Cuban tree frogs could cause some ...
The movements of the frog do not stimulate the host tarantulas to attack and there is an unknown chemical present in the frog's skin that acts as a cue to the tarantulas that this species is not prey. [9] The spiders did attempt to catch and eat five species of frogs from the families Bufonidae, Hylidae, and Leptodactylidae. It is noted that ...
Pseudis paradoxa, known as the paradoxical frog or shrinking frog, is a species of hylid frog from South America. [2] Its name refers to the very large—up to 27 cm (11 in) long— tadpole (the world's longest), which in turn "shrinks" during metamorphosis into an ordinary-sized frog, only about a quarter or third of its former length.
