NEWT TO ME - A Red Eft - the immature land form of the Eastern Newt. Newts have three forms: a larval aquatic form, followed by an immature land form called an "eft", and finally an aquatic adult form. This species in all forms have 10-12 red spots ringed in black and many small black dots. We see red efts on the paths after it has rained.

Interesting. Nice photo. I'm wondering if their color is a warning that they (their skin0 may be toxic..
