The frog lives in the tarantula burrow, where it is safe from drying out during the day and where frog-eating predators will not go. However, scientists have seen fly larvae on young tarantula spiderlings. The scientists speculated that this frog may help the tarantulas by eating flies that enter the burrow before they can lay eggs. [5]
