today’s funky frog of the day: the western spadefood toad (Spea hammondii)!!!! named after the naturalist william alexander hammond, these round boys live in the united states and mexico. they usually live for around 12 years!!! strange fact: the secretions of this toad smell like peanut butter.
This species is found primarily in the northeastern United States and up into Canada. Like many bee flies, larvae are parasitoids of solitary bee larvae. Adults drink nectar with their long proboscis.
