A Crucifix Frog taps her tootsies.
These fidgety feet attract the attention of insect prey in a ruse known as pedal luring.

Impatience!
Wiggle wiggle wiggle
This behavior shows up in a lot of small frogs, and is no less adorable in the rest of them. Some captive-raised frogs start tapping as soon as they see the food container, not even waiting for actual food to appear.
LOOK AT THIS fat little guy. No one has more personality than this warty, ping-pong ball of a guy. He’s a crucifix frog (Notaden bennettii), native to western New South Wales and south-western Queensland.
The crucifix frog (often called a toad) is decorated with a striking
black, red, and green cross-shaped pattern that runs all the way across
its bright yellow back, as you can see below…This is the cutest shit I’ve ever seen, only made better by the knowledge that crucifix frogs have been known to glue themselves to each other with the “frog glue” mentioned in the article so they can stick together during amplexus (tantric frog sex.)
WRONG BLOG but okay have a very good frog this fine Friday.
Right blog.
