hi,
if anyone can id a newt larave which i found in my pond i would be grateful. ive lost my camera (but i will try to find it and take a photo if i must) so the best i can give is a description. definetly not a GCN, either smooth or palmate. it had a golden, yellowish stripe down its back and had a light brown body (it was probably nearlly ready to emerge as it only had small gills left). the underside of the tail was also yellow.
GCN lova

As you say, either a Smooth or Palmate larvae, the two cannot be told apart. |
