A plump greenish toad with golden flecked eyes and vertical pupils sits on a dirt path at night, illuminated by a headlamp. It is judging you for being on your phone at this hour.

Hey. It’s still #ToadallyTuesday and this spadey wants to know why you haven’t logged off. Stop doomscrolling. The toad has spoken. #herps #toads #spadefoottoad #speahammondii #workingonthenightmoves #spadey #amphibs

A mottled greenish frog sits in a puddle amid orange algal funk. It has a ‘fold’ or ridge of skin that runs from behind its eye down to its butt.

An olive-green frog sits in a muddy, stagnant puddle. It appears to be sitting on a burlap construction wattle.

#FrogFriday is on with this California Red-legged Frog (Rana draytonii). Note the thick ‘ridge’ that runs from eye to butt, which is a useful way of telling this species apart from non-native bullfrogs. #herps #frogfridays #frogs #amphibs #CRLF #redleggedfrog #caredleggedfrog #fieldbiologist

Two mighty toads in a hand. One is standing on top of the other. They are both greenish-gray in color and have vertical pupils.

Double stack of Western Spadefoot Toads (Spea hammondii) for a bonus #ToadallyTuesday. Although they look like true toads, they are basically their own thing and we love that. #toads #toad #spea #herps #toadstack #amphibs #hypnotoad

A pair of toads is seen in shallow water. The smaller green male is seen clutching on to the back of the larger brown female.

Also, it feels like the need for #ToadallyTuesday is strong. Here is a noble little king, hugging his queen. Western Toad (Anaxyrus boreas). #herps #toads #amphibs #amplexus #spawnwatch #anaxyrus #toad
