So upon inspection on my garden this morning I noticed some passing guests. Too my knowledge frogs are not harmful to the plant so I'm going to let him stay for awhile.

I'm glad to here there good for pest control. I've heard of praying mantis being used, but with mixed results. From what it appears frogs have been beneficial for you guys so I guess he's got a new permanent home.

I wonder if its possible to cultivate plants with frogs indoors. Maybe bufo species? Im sure it would be possible if you were able to create a grow-room with subtropical-type conditions and provide food for the frogs. Although this is a very stupid idea, im just high as hell throwing it out there.
