I'm glad you posted this. I've been finding the EXACT same droppings on my front porch for the last few weeks and couldn't figure out what has been leaving them. They seem awfully large to be frog droppings though.

Yuck but check out this link: Frog excrement...please post your pictures - talk to the frog

Do not look if you are eating...especially M&M's!

It had been driving me crazy..I was hoping it wasn't a snake or anything. My husband told me to call our bug guys but I thought someone on here would know. This forum is full of information!

Default Everyone is surprised the first time...

So was I, and I too wondered what this stuff was. I thought it was possums at first, but possums don't go to the middle of the lawn just to take a dump! I began to notice patterns, I'd always see the turds, but not the culprit.

Then one evening I startled a frog, it jumped into the pond, and when I shined the flashlight on where the frog was, there it was... a fresh, sticky peanut turd of bug heads, and I could even see bug legs! As bad as it looks, just imagine all those bugs would be invading my home, or flying around bothering us. Frogs are truly the best insect pest control.

This was a very timely thread. My wife opened out door to one of these this morning and asked me what the heck it was. I was able to say authoritatively that it was frog poop.

It is frog or toad or both. Snake also look like that. Id rather have any of these guys around and their poo than the bugs though.
It's definitely not rat, rat is very small.

I apologize sincerely, but your garage is on my way from the Taco Bell to the bus stop. I will try to hold it from now on.
