is a frog an insect?

Answer 1

no, the frog isn't an insect.he is an amphibian.i understand why you asked because frogs lay eggs and insects lay eggs too.the difference is that frogs lay eggs that drop into the pond and become tadpoles whereas insects usually lay eggs on dry land because their eggs won't survive in the water.

Answer 2

Interesting question.

There are insects called frog-hoppers. As juveniles, some frog-hoppers live in a blob of froth. This blob is often called cuckoo-spit - yes, it really looks like frothy spit. The froth protects the young insects from predators (birds and parasites) until they are adults.

The adult hoppers fly, but the juveniles cannot do so: they can only crawl rather slowly.

So, although "frogs" are amphibians, "frog-hoppers" are insects.

Answer 3

No a frog is not an insect. Funny question though.

Answer 4

amphibian


The frog is an amphibian in the order Anura (meaning "tail-less" from Greek an-, without + oura, tail), formerly referred to as Salientia (Latin saltare, to jump). Adult frogs are characterised by long hind legs, a short body, webbed digits, protruding eyes and the absence of a tail. Most frogs have a semi-aquatic lifestyle, but move easily on land by jumping or climbing. They typically lay their eggs in puddles, ponds or lakes; and their larvae, called tadpoles, have gills and develop in water. Adult frogs follow a carnivorous diet, mostly of arthropods, annelids and gastropods. Frogs are most noticeable by their call, which can be widely heard during the night or day, mainly in their mating season.

Answer 5

i really hope you know these differences. a frog in an amphibian, and a vertebrate. and an insect is an invertebrate. insects have no bones.

Answer 6

So, there's this Calvin and Hobbes cartoon where Calvin has to do this report on bats, and he makes it all up, and does this whole doom and gloom thing that ends up with the whole class yelling at him, "BATS AREN'T BUGS!!!!" Same thing. Frogs are born from eggs, same as insects, spend their early lives swimming around in water as tadpoles, and eventually hop on out of the water (but continue to live on, in, around, and near it) and live as full-grown adult frogs. They eat insects, but are, in fact, vertebrate amphibians -- amphibian meaning that their life cycle relies both on time spent on land and in water -- with most of the same organs that you and I have.
