Come on, these guys are practically honorary amphibians... anybody have some good pictures? I got an okay video the other day:

Also, Gyri, maybe you can post the extremely hideous invert we saw near the island a few weeks ago?

Damn, you got me! I've been releasing these guys in pools all over the northeast. Hope that's okay. :D

I'm holding out until later. I want to go back and see if I can get one to hatch out of a giant millipede on video :)

Are they endangered in your area like they are here in San Diego?
