Did you know a group of toads is called a knot? Well, we have a KNOT of toads by our house. Wholy KNOT! (I count 40, 40 tiny toads. Mwahahahahaha!)
And yesterday, the neighbor kids came over and brought a Knot of toads from by their houses too. So we had a Knot of Knots.
I guess toads are a good thing to have around. They can eat thousands of insects (so with 40 toads in our yard, that's 40,000 fewer insects!!! (They can eat up to 3 times their weight in insects and slugs EVERY day! Bring on those toads!)
Some people recommend putting in toad houses. But these toads seem to enjoy living under our step on our patio. (Note to self, this fall find out how to move that thing to clean under it. I'm sure there is some toad droppings to clean out).
The toads especially like to climb around Jeremy's new rock wall in the back of the yard too.
You've got some brave kids, lol. Mine are scared of frogs (or at least of them peeing on them :)
