Frogs are captivating creatures that can play an important role in establishing a healthy ecosystem in your backyard. 

In the same way that knowing how to attract bees and ladybirds to your backyard is hugely beneficial, frogs too play a crucial role. Adult frogs and toads are amphibians that primarily feed on insects. In fact, a frog can consume more than 10,000 insects every year, including slugs, snails, mosquitos and caterpillars, making them an efficient form of natural pest control.
