Fear of frogs and toads is both a specific phobia, known as frog phobia or ranidaphobia, from Ranidae, the most widespread family of frogs, and a superstition common to the folkways of many cultures; psychiatric specialty literature generally uses the plain term fear of frogs rather than a specialized one, though the term batrachophobia, fear of amphibians, was recorded in a 1953 psychiatric dictionary.
