Here's a close-up of a salamander (or maybe a newt) I was surprised to find in the water I brought back from my last visit to Josh's pond. My intention was to scoop up pond plants to enhance the habitat for my 'wogs at home. Little did I realize this frilly fellow was in the mix. He appears to be different from the ones that hatched from the egg clumps. (see earlier post) He is also quite a bit larger, measuring in at about an inch. The other salamanders are barely half that size. I'm real curious to see how this little guy or gal develops.
