Eastern Red-Backed Salamander

Thought I posted this one but I guess not. Another salamandy baby for you all 🍂

Eastern Red-backed Salamander (Plethodon cinereus) on the Lynn Valley Trail, a few weeks ago. These are the most common woodland Salamanders of the Great Lakes region. Despite their tiny, weak-looking limbs they occasionally climb into trees and shrubs to forage, which usually happens during rainy nights. Their diet is made up of many small invertebrates, usually those found within leaf litter or under logs. They are surprisingly fast when exposed, as I found out while trying to take good pictures of them. Unlike most amphibians which require a body of water in which to reproduce, the Red-backed Salamander lays eggs in an underground chamber or within a rotting log or stump. . . . . . . . #nature #ontario #easternredbackedsalamander #redbackedsalamander #plethodon #plethodoncinereus #amphibiansofontario #salamander #salamandersofinstagram #ontariowildlifephotography #lynnvalleytrail #norfolkwild #blognorfolk #norfolkcountyontario #simcoeontario #cwfphotoclub #canadiananimals #salamanderphotography #herpsofig (at Lynn Valley Walking Trail) https://www.instagram.com/p/CHFbxDSghL9/?igshid=1kwgm1zrndt8q

Going out late at night after it rains is my favorite. I saw at least 4 different species of salamanders just in one patch of my yard. I love these mountains. #salamanders #duskysalamander #yonahlosseesalamander #redbackedsalamander #southerngreycheekedsalamander #desmognathus #plethodon #herping #nature #photography #ncmountains #grandfathermountain https://www.instagram.com/p/B0GYSiEB6ba/?igshid=1lc7hunie2x5s
