Do you have a lot of frogs and toads in your yard? (Raleigh: house, living in)

Maybe it has been the recent wet weather, but today while doing some yard work I ran across a lot of amphibious wildlife in my rather small suburban yard. I discovered I have a toad living in the shaded area behind my garbage can and a frog living in my flowerbed. I am nowhere near a pond or stream so the appearance of this frog was a bit of a surprise. Have you noticed a lot of toads or frogs in your yard lately?

What a cute little guy. We don't have any frogs or other amphibious creatures in our yard. I wish we did. My son loves frogs. We do have a ton of butterflies though.

[welovedurham]

Yes! We have bright green tree frogs that hide by our outdoor lights, green-brown frogs, and big bullfrogs that glurp in the drainage pipe. We are near a swamp, though, and there's usually at least a little (to a lot) water flowing through our yard. We have quite a bit of wildlife. Love 'em!

We got your frogs, and NRG I will raise you quite a few turtles. Oh and toss in one opossum. He showed up after the storm, and has stayed, lol.

[welovedurham]

Ooo, possums gross me out.

I'll see your turtles and raise you bats. Lots of mosquito-eating bats. Fat bats.

Aaaa! They're in your house! ("Were" I hope.) We let our bats go free-range in the sky and trees.

A skink slipped into our house today, though.

Oh yes! Frogs, toads, salamanders, geckos..you name the amphibian and they have found a home here. On the other hand, I know when all the above are rare that a snake has taken over, fyi.

Here is a picture of two I ran across while taking a walk through Bedford tonight about 30 minutes ago!
