need help identifying

[kaze215]

hello,
my name is steve and i'm new here. today my sons and i found what i believe to be a toad. we live in the southeastern part of pennsylvania. it is about the size of my thumbnail, doesn't have any real distinct black marks, and his color is pretty much like a standard camo pattern with black, green, and brown. i'm trying to get a pic but he is so small i can't get him in focus. so if anyone has any tips for picture taking or what it might be. please let me know. thank you

first, check the ones on this list. if it's on there it's best to put it back where you got it. ... Powered by Google Docs

if you have a macro setting (or the setting with the little pic of a flower) on your camera that'll probably be your best bet. if you can turn your flash off and put the little bugger somewhere with great lighting. a piece of white paper is great for a background for shots.

a small tripod wouldn't be a bad idea either to hold things steady.
