I think that Kafka turned the protagonist, Gregor, into a beetle/roach because he wanted to show that things didn't aways fallow a pattern. He seems like the kind of person who would try to change the thought process to make people think out of the box. He was probably trying to bend how we think and make us admit that not everything makes sense. As in one day you could be a traveling sales man and the next day you could wake up a beetle/roach and your whole life would change including how you view reality.
His writing is really dark and satanical not like a fairy tale with a princess so it wouldn't make sense to put a frog in a story that is completely demented. Also because people would associate the frog with a fairy tale that ends happily forever ever after not were the main character who transformed dies at the end. Also I've never seen a writer like him he is dark and people say that this was one of the stories he was most proud of. Another reason could be simply the time he was in or that he may not have heard many stories that had the protagonist become a frog. No matter what it was I still think that he is an interesting writer.
