Default frog in my greenhouse

Your frog is most likely a toad. Toads like similar places and are quite
capable of looking after themselves for years. We had one for twenty years,
I believe, before getting accidentally squashed. It can only do good and
unlike frogs they become quite tame and can accept food from your hand. He
will come and go as he pleases.
Best Wishes. N.E.Kernow.

A frog has taken up residence in a corner of my greenhouse under a pile of
old pots.

Should I evict him, or can I keep him as a handy organic bug-killer?

My greenhouse is not particularly frogproof, so he could probably get out,
but I'm also not confident of the brains of frogs - would he actually have
the sense to find a gap and leave, I wonder, if most of the area was
enclosed?

Frogs seem to me to move largely by random leaps hoping they are going
roughly in the right direction, but maybe they get nervous when I am
watching them ;-)
