Spawning only lasts a few days, and during this period, the males sometimes gather in large calling groups on the water surface to attract females.

The spawn clumps consist of 450 to 1800 eggs, and are usually attached to tree branches, roots, or plant stems at depths of 5–40 cm (2–16 in).

[3] Adults of agile frog eat arthropods like caterpillars, spiders, millipedes, flies, beetles, cicadas and collembolans.

[1] The agile frog can be found in France, the Channel Islands, parts of Germany, Denmark, Sweden, Italy, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, Hungary, on the Balkans, Greece, and by the Black Sea.

The species once lived in the Great Britain, during middle Saxon times, with archaeological remains recovered in East Anglia.

[11][12] It has undergone a reintroduction on Jersey, by Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust, as it was very close to extirpation on the island.
