The American toad (Anaxyrus americanus, formerly Bufo americanus) is a large toad native throughout most of Eastern North America. They are the most broadly distributed toad species on the continent. In Canada, American toads are found in Manitoba, Ontario, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador. Typically brown, tan or grey, in the northern reaches of their Canadian range — which extends as far north as Labrador’s Arctic coast — American toads are brighter, with brick-red, white, yellow and black patterning.

Amphibians are members of a group of tetrapod (four-legged) vertebrate animals derived from fishes and are the common ancestor to mammals and reptiles. Amphibians are characterized by their lack of extraembryonic membranes in their eggs. Amphibians are represented by three living groups: Anura (frogs), Caudata (salamanders) and Gymnophiona (caecilians, tropical, none in Canada).

Antimony (Sb) is a silvery-white, lustrous, crystalline solid. Uncharacteristically for metals, it is brittle and conducts heat and electricity poorly. Antimony melts at 630°C and boils at 1380°C. The mineral stibnite is the most important source of antimony.

Aphids are small, soft-bodied insects that suck plant sap. They belong to the order Hemiptera and the suborder Sternorrhyncha (along with whiteflies, scale insects and jumping plant lice). Aphids belong to the family Aphididae, although many species in the families Adelgidae and Phylloxeridae are also commonly called aphids. Over 5,000 species are known worldwide, over 800 of which are found in Canada. Aphids originated at least 250 million years ago, but most of their present diversity arose in the last 66 million years alongside flowering plants. Their great success as a group has made them familiar and prolific pests of gardens and agricultural crops.
