Lizard - Correction, Red Eft/Newt

The lizards I usually see around here are similar in size, but have a blue colored tail and a silvery body.  This one was rust colored head to toe, which caught my eye - first of its kind I have seen around here.

Whatever color, I assume he stays busy eating bugs, and for that I am grateful.

I grew up catching those guys when I lived in NJ as a kid! Red-spotted newt. Saw one a few years ago when I went hiking with my mother in the Delaware Water Gap. They are so beautiful!

Not a lizard, a salamander. A red eft I think.
