Field herping in SoCal since Sept 2024 😆. Occasionally posting about science, ecology, conservation, and the natural world when I encounter something new and interesting. Photos and thoughts are my own. Creatures stay in the wild.
It is uniquely awe-inspiring to witness simple acts of living in the wild, such as this slender salamander I observed recently munching on springtails in the San Gabriel Mts near LA. ♥️🌎
Black-bellied Slender Salander (Batrachoseps nigriventris)
Springtail sp., likely Ptenothrix maculosa
