Anaxyrus americanus americanus
(Holbrook, 1836)
St. Louis Co., Missouri. Spring 1972.
My first americanus remains one of the biggest I’ve ever seen, close to four inches in length. I found it under a flat rock in a neighbor’s front yard on a chilly spring day. Pictured are recent American toads from North Carolina.
