hello friend... here you go....
>>>The saliva becomes liquidy, penetrating the insect cracks. As thefrog pulls its tongue back into the mouth, the tissue stretches like a spring, reducing forces on the insect (similar to how a bungee cord reduces forces on your ankle). The saliva returns to its thick, viscous state, maintaining high grip on the insect....hope this will help

Frog's tongues are attached to the front of their mouths rather than at the back like humans. When a frogcatches an insect it throws its stickytongue out of it's mouth and wraps it around its prey. The frog's tongue then snaps back and throws the food down its throat.
