are there any toads/frogs with long tongues that lash out and get bugs?

What is portrayed on tv is simply cartoonish. I am not aware of any frogs that have tongue projection as extreme as a chameleon, and I doubt any frog can snatch a fly out of the air. Toads are the best native example of tongue projection if you wanted to see it yourself.

The closest you will get with amphibians are salamanders of the genus Bolitoglossa. You can see some cool videos of a few species feeding at http://autodax.net/feedingmovieindex.html
