What is toads of michigan?

Toads are common amphibians found throughout Michigan. Michigan's two most common species of toads are the American toad and the Fowler's toad. American toads are larger, with warty skin that is typically brown or olive-green. Fowler's toads are smaller and have a smoother, tan or gray-brown skin with fewer warts. Both species can be found in a variety of habitats including woodlands, fields, prairies, and wetlands. Toads play an important role in controlling insect populations, particularly mosquitoes, as they feed on a variety of insects. They also serve as an important food source for many predators, including birds, snakes, and mammals. Toads can be heard calling during the breeding season in the spring and early summer. Their distinctive trilling call is often heard after a warm rain. Toads are generally harmless to humans and can make interesting pets for those who are knowledgeable about their care.
