I am known as an Oak Toad

I eat invertebrates, including spiders

But don't tell Dee, I hear she is partial to them

And I hate offending book writers.

(The Rhyming Guide to Florida Spiders is available at Ditch 13 Gallery and Gifts in Fellsmere, Merritt Island NWR Visitor Center gift shop in Titusville,  the Enchanted Forest Santuary gift shop in Titusville, and via mail order.)
