Regina regida
The back is black and very shiny. The belly is copper colored with two rows of half moons running the length of the body.
Found on the road at night. Took him back to photograph him the next day, then went to release him again just to see the pond I found him near had dried up, so he was probably out looking for a new home when we found him. I took him to the next pond just a few meters down the road and released him. He's only the third of this species I have seen so it was pretty exciting :)
