Don't you miss the sun?
Earlier this week I posted about a spotted salamander; a handsome yellow spotted creature.http://naturetales.blogspot.com/2009/09/spotted-salamander-for-mellow-yellow.html

We had found it under a rock. Since then we have looked under more rocks and found two more species; a Dusky Salamander and a Red-Backed Salamander

When I turn over rocks there is never anything but bugs underneath. You have more interesting rocks :-) Love seeing all the different types of skinks and lizards...quite a variety.
ReplyDeleteYou have some great shots of these critters.I have memories of seeing them in my Aunties musty old basement.Yuk!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
I believe you have identified a lead-phase reedback as a dusky salamander.
ReplyDeleteGreat finds though.
