Good catch - I didn't realize that they don't range all the way to the coast in NC.

should be A. gryllus in that area/habitat.

They are difficult to tell apart, but from what I can see, the second one looks more like A. crepitans due to the rounded snout. Another clue is in the webbing on the toes, but I can't remember which is which.
