Reply to comment by noob_user_bob in How do fishes get into isolated inland lakes in the first place? and why don't we see more divergent evolution / speciation given the separation of each group of fishes from each other? by I-mean-Literally

I mean, frogs can move on land, so I would imagine they just walk (hop?) there and lay their eggs.

Like it makes sense but I've just never seen a migrating frog before :p

Oh, I've seen that. I've had both tree frogs and pond frogs find their way into buckets on my porch and lay eggs.

I bought a house in Simi Valley, up in the hills. It’s basically a desert. Somehow little brown frogs made it under my house. I went down there to get them out because they were constantly croaking, and I found a broken drain pipe that was their source of moisture. How they managed to get from wherever they were to my place is astounding to me.
