Pepe throughout history:
“What time on these, as on a dry skin lying in the pool’s bed, the floods of heaven descended, The music of the Frogs comes forth in the sounds of Shadilay like the cows lowing with their calves beside them.”
-Rig Veda 7.103

Frogs in the Vedas are used as imagery for the monsoon season, such as the Bhagavatam's 10th Canto, chapter 20:
> SB 10.20.9 — The frogs, who had all along been lying silent, suddenly began croaking when they heard the rumbling of the rain clouds, in the same way that brāhmaṇa students, who perform their morning duties in silence begin reciting their lessons when called by their teacher.
Prabhupada says this alludes to new students not rising of their own accord, but with assistance from something like a morning bell. Frogs are also used as a cuationary animal:
> SB 2.3.20 — One who has not listened to the messages about the prowess and marvelous acts of the Personality of Godhead and has not sung or chanted loudly the worthy songs about the Lord is to be considered to possess earholes like the holes of snakes and a tongue like the tongue of a frog.
Where the tongue of a frog is considered to make useless croaking noise that only attracts death in the form of predators.
The last mention of frogs that I know is a colloquial tale about a "professor frog" that lives in a well. The frog is visited by another frog that had recently been to the ocean. The professor keeps trying to gauge the ocean in terms of his well: "five times larger? ten times? a hundred?" Professor frog ultimately rejects the ocean, finding its size illogical compared to the known well. Similar (if much simpler) to the allegory of the cave; being unable to process a knowledge so alien to known experience, that the only course is direct experience of said unknown.
