Toads are beneficial insects.

Toads are natural enemies of crop pests. According to scientists’ observations, they are better than beautiful frogs in eliminating crop pests. They eat several times more pests in one night than frogs.

Toads usually live in the grass or among rocks on the banks of rivers and ponds. They hide in caves during the day and are inactive, and crawl out to hunt in the early morning or night. It preys on snails, slugs, ants, locusts and crickets.

Life habits of toads:

Stop eating and use glycogen stored in the body to maintain the lowest metabolism. The hibernation will not end until the temperature rises to 10-20°C the following year. Predates and moves at night, feeding on beetles, moths, snails, fly larvae, etc. Breeding in captivity is easier than other frog species.
