Why Evolution is True is a blog written by Jerry Coyne, centered on evolution and biology but also dealing with diverse topics like politics, culture, and cats.
But there’s another one! Located at 8:00 from the one on the left, about 6” or so away. Facing toward us, looking slightly to the right.

Exactly. That was what I thought was a 2nd one. I completely missed the one on the far right.
I see that third one too!
And do I see a fourth one to the far right, six or seven inches from the edge of the picture, middle of picture? (but the resolution makes this one guesswork).
Boy, dead leaves do a good job of mimicking toads. They sure are cute (the toads, I mean).
