Do frogs really sit on lily pads?

Frogs will sit anywhere where they can get the opportunity to grab a mouthful of food. The other thing is also that there are frogs that are not totally reliant on water. For instance, some of the tree frogs here in Australia live in the desert areas. The Desert Tree Frog is a small putty coloured frog that will often gather around lights at night to feed on insects. At certain times, when the insects are thick, the frogs stay in one position and you can see the length of the frogs reach and tongue by the cleared area around the frogs.


Others, such as Toadlets, live on the land and even lay eggs under a piece of bark or rock whenever rain occurs. Always in a position to wash the tadpoles into some water.


In South America, frogs can spend their entire lives in a plant called a Bromeliad. Breeding, eating, living and dying there.


Other frogs can remain buried for years under the desert floor to be awakened by a flood. The first meal they have is the skin that has protected for the years they have spent underground.


Other frogs spend the winter frozen, in a state of suspended animation, under ice. When the spring comes, they thaw out and do what frogs do best, croak to attract a mate.


Frogs live in very diverse areas, water lilies do not. So I guess where water lilies grow, frogs would sit on them. I would suggest that this is an easy way to become a meal for another animal.
