Examination of the contents of 108 stomachs of juvenile and adult Bufo woodhousei fowleri showed that ants and bee- tles comprised 81% of all the food items eaten.

The ability to utilize these ubiquitous taxa, and other available arthro- pods, partially accounts for the world-wide success of toads.
