Hi Michael:
My Pleurothallis are too small and fragile to human contact. They (the forgs)do not tramp on them, smashing flowers or breaking leaves? Are they useful in controling snails and slugs? Supose so, as they live behind the plaques, where the plages hide during daylight - they all are shy, aren't they? -that simbiosis (man-orchid-frog) can be of great value to people having nuisance with that moluscs in their greehouse.
Anyway, congratulations in the management of such a complex eco-system.
One more question that worries my wife: the frogs that live in my ranch make noises like "roach" that you can hear a hundred of feet away. My wife, despite their beauty, questioned me if your wife/children wouldn't complain about that.
Some species of them also insist in visiting my bathroom when the weather is too dry (that seldom occours), startling everyone...Sorry for the joke.

Hi Marcus

You are correct that the frogs like the bromeliads more than the Pleurothallids. I like the Pleuothalids more than the bromeliads. Most types of plants in terrariums with frogs are good for the frogs. My frogs climb on the orchids and hide behind orchid plaques. They don't spend as much time in the orchids as they would in bromeliads. For me the terrariums are good places to grow the orchids. The orchids would dry out quickly at my windows or in my garden.

(My) frogs like the bromeliads that exist up on tree banches in my
ranch in southeastern Brasil.
but never heard of they like Pleurothallis.
I'll pay attention to that - if that is also my case and their prefference.
