I love this picture because it shows the delicate beauty of the salamander newts. I am amazed at how delicate the the eggs are yet resilient enough for them to wiggle out of. Raising salamander newts is much more challenging for me, and for that reason I usual return most to my son's pond. When the eggs are first gathered I am not able to distinguish the difference between the frog clusters and the salamander.
Eggs and newts pictured here are tripled in size to show details.
