be careful about giving out information of animals where abouts.

The hidden (mouse-over) caption for this photo says "pond with T. marmoratus, cristatus, and alpestris". Did you see all 3 species there? What a treat!

In this pond i fond T.Helveticus (a common specie), T. Alpestris (a common specie too), T. Marmoratus (less common) and T. cristatus (not common i saw only one female but it was on very late,on August). Don't be afraid it's impossible to find pond like this simply with a photo. The forest is very big.

You're so lucky I've been going to france for years trying to get pictures of these guys, but I geuss I'm always in the wrong place at the wrong time of year.

Je confirme. D'autant plus qu'il n'y a pas beaucoup de "french visiteurs" sur ce site, mais quand ils s'y mettent, ça dégage ! JB
