The red eft ~ the terrestrial juvenile stage of the red spotted newt
Beginning as a tadpole, the newt then lives for 2 to 3 years in this beautiful bright orange stage
As an adult, it turns green with red spots and once again takes to the water

  1. Amazing! I love lizards of all kinds and colors, but rarely see any here. So this is an amphibian rather than a reptile, I guess. Whatever ….it is a delightful color!

  2. Wow, the time has flown by, I can't believe it's Wednesday already… I've been outside painting the house everyday, all day! Love your entry, thank you for sharing on Weekly Top Shot #40!
