Macro and Flora Image of the Week for the week ending Apr. 4th, 2014: John Robinson - Newt larva

[Daniel Cadieux]

Congratulations John!

Great Crested newt larvae.
(Photographed under Licence)
These often over winter as larvae. Done in a complicated tank set up designed for freshwater stuff. They are the only newt larvae with spots - so quite easy to ID.
Great Crested larvae for some reason are quite hard to move around - unlike the other two species we have in the UK
