Last night, I returned to the house from my studio and sitting on the patio was this enormous toad. I called David to come out and see and we watched (and took photos) and he casually hopped over to each of the moths that were gathering in the porch light and ZAP! they were gone. I found a guide book on reptiles and amphibians of the southwest at the library today and looks like Mo (yup, we named him) is a Woodhouse toad. Apparently these guys can eat up to 2/3 their weight in one sitting. Mo was well on his way when we left him to his dessert.
