Woodhouse's Toad
This little guy is from the the Nebraska Sandhills where he blends in well into the light-colored landscape. Woodhouses Toads like him come out around dusk in droves, and especially attracted to any brightly lit spots where insects may congregate, such as under porchlights. During daytime, they'll burrow deep into the sand to escape the heat of the harsh summer sun.
Our little toad is barely the size of a thumbnail, but on average they grow up to around 4" in size. Judging from the voracious appetite he's got, I wonder what's holding him back!
I say he's got a face like Jabba the Hutt ;D
