Two newts I’ve found in the yard. The top-most is more recent, and the orange one below is from last October. Both are Eastern Newts (Notophthalmus viridescens), and over on iNaturalist the orange one was identified down to subspecies Central Newt (N. viridescens ssp. louisianensis)
I’m eternally delighted by them and honored that they’d stop by my garden!
This needs an NSFW tag.
Newts.
So.
Freaking.
Wonderful.
Yeah, I know it was a stretch
No way, I love that. Right up there with “man I love frogs” and “bugs do so much (for the environment).” A perfect trio of bumper stickers.
This very specific genre of riffing is just the best.
