a.k.a. Sequoia Spruce Environmental Sciences and Studies undergrad at SCU. Native Oregonian (and, therefore, wild at heart).
Sign In to followLooks a bit more like a young rough-skinned newt. How adorable! Nice spotting :)
Thank you, VivBraznell! Any idea which specific species?
Hema, I nearly stepped on this little one at Santa Clara University tonight. Moved it out of the pathway with a stick (gently!) by Mission Church.
Jellis,
I found this in my backyard. One of many specimens! It's a macro shot, but it basically looks like that fluffy green moss one might see on large rocks (this was on a huge granite boulder).
Unfortunately I don't! It flew away before I could :(
Thanks to all of you! I have some research to do, and I'm grateful to have a starting place now! :)
Could be erodium.
Don't you just love that about them? They're such cute creatures and they work so hard! Thanks for your words, EvaSeifert!
