Silly GCA, the eastern or red spotted newt (You didn't even get the name right) isn't endangered, it's relatives are. Get your facts straight.:

There are many notorious mishaps in publications in books or in online articles everywhere. But technically calling a N.v.virridescens a Spotted Newt isn't technically wrong because the statement is aimed to be general. But I can see why people like us would have an issue with it.

Check this one out. This is an old screen shot I took from years ago. I believe it was from a DNR website. Forget what state, I know it was a southern state.
