Euphlyctis hexadactylus

Euphlyctis hexadactylus, also known as the green pond frog, is a common species of aquatic frog found in Pakistan, India, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka. The diet of adult green pond frogs is unusual in that plant leaves and some flowers constitute a large part of their diets. However, they also consume invertebrates and small vertebrates. Juveniles, however, are insectivores.
