How do frogs capture insects with their tongues?

Frogs capture insects with their long, sticky tongues, which can shoot out at incredible speed. The tongue is attached at the front of their mouths, allowing it to extend outward rapidly. When a frog detects prey, it flicks its tongue, and the sticky saliva on the tip adheres to the insect. The tongue then retracts, bringing the prey into the frog’s mouth. This highly specialised feeding mechanism ensures frogs can catch fast-moving insects efficiently.
