Most toads are nocturnal and like to hunt insects at night. These two Fowler's Toads seem to have found a shady toad abode to pass a hot summer day.
This Grey Tree Frog chose a perfect window perch for catching insects... and apparently watching television since this is the only window I see him in at night and it is directly across from my TV.
Frogs and toads are both amphibians. Toads have bumpier skin than frogs. Frogs prefer wet habitats near water while toads typically prefer dry land. Both lay eggs in the water. Toad eggs appear in long chains while frog eggs are in gelatinous clusters. We have 28 species of frogs and toads in Virginia.
