Cool Spider

My son and I went herpin today and didn't find anything really good, but we did see the following spider... I don't remember the name...

And these two guys in the same area...

The spider is hard to see against the leafy background. I can make out a light oval background with dark poppyseed looking patterning. It reminds me of an afternoon snack cracker, lol.

The toad is interesting. I enjoy seeing wildlife from other areas of the country :) Thanks for posting.

The spider is a spiny orb weaver. We get them all over our backyard. They are pretty neat little spiders (this coming from someone who is terrified of them!).
