Hunting the Aneides trifecta

[bewilderbeast]

Went out hunting the Aneides trifecta.... mostly found flavipunctatus but manged all three species so the trip was a success.

















these all spotless individuals are from a different location about 25 miles from the others. I have seen spotless or nearly spotless individuals but they never have this blue and silver frosting on their limbs and tail... a very unique population.




Wandering salamander/ juvenile.



Aneides lugubris
juvie


adult


a very handsome T. granulosa

Love the lugubris shots, they have so much character! I used to find them in the woodpile by my house when i lived in sonoma county.

Gorgeous! Me and a few friends are going herping this friday. Hopefully we'll find some caudates!

You almost can't beat a day like that, almost. Someone who lurks on this site got the same trifecta last week within a few square yards! Just had to show me up with my own locality info, LOL!
