VIDEO: American Toad climbing onto porch!

May 3, 2024 Elizabeth

Artistic Photo of Toad under leaf

We often see the toads on our side porch. There’s a light in this area that attracts bugs and so lots of herps gather under the light. Last night, it was a warm-ish spring rain and my husband let the dogs out at about 1am and spotted quite a few toads and even a frog!


The coolest thing though was seeing this toad that climbed up the porch & he got it on video. Check it out below!

Steve also spotted this small frog. We don’t see too many frogs around other than the wood frog. What species do you think this one is?
