See the difference between a bug (Hemiptera) and a beetle (Coleoptera) is the elytra (wing-cases) and whether the wings are completely, or only partially, sheathed. Ok so secondly. The difference between a frog and a toad is thus: quite simply... without going into too much detail... or talking too much... one has warts on its skin and one doesn't. Frogs have a very smooth skin, usually quite nicely coloured and they look slimy. Toads are a wee bit flatter with warty/bumpy skin and tend to be a bit bigger than frogs. In conclusion: Frogs are cute. Toads are not. Ok so first of all:
