This humorous 2013 calendar poster features a grumpy looking American Toad (Bufo americanus). This small amphibian is brown with black, gold olive green and orange coloration. His warts distinguish him from his frog neighbors. Although hatched in the water of ponds, rivers, lakes or streams, the tadpoles soon move to land where the toads live their adult lives. His startling call is a long screech. He looks quite fierce but is actually a gentle little guy who eat lots of garden pests including insects and slugs. The text reads: Back off. It can be customized or removed. CLICK HERE TO SEE THE ENTIRE
