Are you talking about a dart frog skeleton display or a regular bullfrog skeleton display? I've done the latter for some comparative anatomy courses, but it's been a while. The former would be difficult to do unless you had some of those flesh eating beetles or ants that museums use.

As the other post mentioned, flesh eating insects is the way to go. I raise box turtles in my back yard, and every now and then when removing large ant piles we will find a skeleton of a baby box turtle in there. Poor guys, but I have kept a few of them and they are really neat. Make sure you are very careful when removing them though, it is obviously very fragile.
I am sure you can find a nice red-fire ant pile out in a field or so, especially in the heat of the summer. Good luck.
