Red Eft

I often see these guys after a rain, on one trail when I walk the dogs. I was hoping to catch one today and I did! Red Efts are the terrestrial stage of the Red-spotted Newt. After a couple of years they move to being aquatic and become green with a yellow belly, but retain the red spots.

I love seeing these guys when we are up in the Berkshires. The rain brings so many out you have to be careful not to step on them! A wonderful shot of this guy.

Nice shot! I too have to be careful walking in the woods after a rain - sometimes the dogs step on one but no damage is done.
