I haven't seen this buddy since fall, and over winter I lost a lot of plants (including the vine pictured). We've been hoping he'd come back this year, but no sightings so far. We do get a ton of frogs in the yard/neighborhood and check their markings whenever we can, but no luck! I hope he's thriving in the fields nearby.
"Gulf Coast Toad" is the common name for at least two species; this is Incilius nebulifer.
And for those who don't know: "toad" is not a formal classification, so this little guy, like all toads, is also a frog!
