The toad Bufo haematiticus from the Firestone Center for Restoration Ecology in Costa Rica

There must be a common name for this toad, but I can't find one, so just sticking to the Latin name.  Which, like so many things changes over time.  The toad's name is either Rhaebo haematiticus or Bufo haematiticus (unless there is an even newer name than I know of).  The thing is what it is, but what it is called depends on which whatnot you read.

Biology is FUN!  Getting out and seeing this stuff and working with it and all can't be beat.  But keeping up with taxonomy can be work, and I have enough trouble keeping up with the bats, so will wait for the frog folks to correct me if I'm wrong here.
