Field Notes

Description:

Immature terrestrial stage of a newt, I think. Not sure what species.

EDIT: Species name updated, but still listening to other thoughts on his ID! :)

Notes:

Found with some friends who are interested in herps and are members of our university's herpetology club.

Thank you! I wasn't sure what he was...my friends just said something about their intermediate stage being bright orange and terrestrial.
