Wart ~ our Toad

So I learned a little information on new friend "Wart".  He is a toad that has been around for the past 3 months and he comes out at night on the back patio. One thing I learned is that he can stay as long as he wants. :o)

The Southern Toad
Bufo terrestris

The Southern Toad is the most common in the Southeast

and its size ranges between one and three inches.

Ours is brown with small darker brown blotches.

He is a night eater, which we know first hand, as he

can be found on our patio very early many mornings,

 looking for his favorite breakfast of ants and cockroaches,

for which I personally want to thank him~
