Field Notes
Description:
About 3" long, this orange spotted newt is traveling about this peice of wood, either to avoid me at some points, or to walk towards the reflection of my lens. A very stricking critter, not used to being out and about in the sun!
This was discovered in my backyard in NB, near my shed.
Habitat:
Under moist peices of rocks, wood, or moss. Sometimes caught walking out at night.
Notes:
Not sure if you notice, but in the first photo there is a spider sitting there blurred in background basking as I take photos. haha.
