Adult toads are usually nocturnal, but juveniles run around during the day. We saw lots of them on the sidewalk, but this was the only pirate one. Did you know that toads start out as tadpoles? I didn't.
They eat crickets, worms, ants, spiders, slugs, and lots of other insects. Pirate Toad wants to eat that bee.
I have several American toads living in my garden. I love having them, except they jump out from under leaves and scare the daylights out of me. Last year we had one (small grey) that insisted on living under our gas grill cover. We would relocate him every time we grilled, the next day he would be back. Thanks for the fun posting.
