How much does a juvenile frog need to eat each day?

It’s a native British frog (can’t be much more specific than that I’m afraid) and is curently about half an inch long. Today’s the first day it’s been eating after absorbing its tail. It’s had a couple of aphids already this morning, but how many insects of this approximate size will it need each day?

Your frog is a probably a Common European Frog , Rana Temporaria.

Diet

Although not feeding throughout the breeding season, adult Common Frogs will feed on any invertebrate of a suitable size.[2] Favourites include insects, (especially flies[3]) snails, slugs and worms.[2] The frogs hunt/catch these animals by catching them on their long, sticky tongues.[2] The diets of Common Frogs change significantly throughout their lives; whereas the oldest frogs will feed only on land, younger frogs will also feed in the water.[2] Tadpoles are mostly herbivores, feeding on algae, detritus and some plants, although will also eat other animals in small amounts.[3]
