What kind of small frogs or toads can be found in your yard, when there is no natural water source nearby?

Question

I found 6 small frogs or toads (not sure which one) outside of my door to my house. There are no natural water sources nearby...i.e.:lakes, streams, ponds, etc. I am not sure where they came from or whether or not they are toads or frogs. Can anyone explain?

Answer 1

Some species live in seasonal ponds and many toads just go into the water for bug hunting and mating...

I live in the desert Southwest and had a TOAD hop through my living room a week ago and we have no water sources nearby except a seasonal stream a half-mile away.  I had to do a double take.  The critter most likely was after those @#$# June beetles that are everywhere right now.

Most likely the toad came by during a rain storm/long thunderstorm and was just checking your place out.

Answer 2

they are probably toads they can get water from your lawn, but they are a good sign that you have a good eco-system, very healthey for growing flowers and plants,they eat bugs that do them harm. hope this helps!
