I don't know what it is about our backyard, but we find the craziest things in it. The neighbors get the normal ladybugs and grasshoppers- we get praying mantis' and, our latest find- salamanders!
The kids found Sammy and he stuck around for a couple of days. They really enjoyed seeing where he'd turn up next. Ick!
We used the opportunity to do some reading on salamanders- first in an effort to figure out what our little friend was, then to figure out what he eats. Yep, good ole Sammy had a buffet of sorts as they kids tried to get him to dine in the underside of a frisbee. {It was a no-go.} We did find out salamanders are in the frog family as opposed to the lizard-snake family. That makes me feel somewhat better about walking around our backyard without any shoes on.
