This unassuming toad has an impressive number of pseudonyms including Asian common toad, Asian toad, black-spectacled toad, common Sunda toad and Javanese toad.
They occur in a range of habitats from Pakistan through to the Indonesian islands. They are common sights in areas of human habitation and are known to take advantage of the plentiful food provided by streetlights when flying termites swarm.
