Give em the eye membrane test - frogs have em - toads don't...pretty good bet if they're in water they're frogs and if not close to water, they're toads -(H.S. dissection lesson from biology teacher -1973)

frog


Pacific tree frog, Hyla regilla. Note the dark band extending from the snout, through the eye and ending near the foreleg junction. It is the only species so marked among the Bufo, Rana, and Hyla of Baja Ca. pp76 in Grismers.

Don't know if a nictitating membrane or eyelid is an indicator of Bufo or not. You may be thinking of the tympanum, or tympanic membrane, which is present in frogs but not toads.

I thought the tympanic membrane was the ear drum.
