Saw this beauty in a recent Sierra magazine and had to try to paint it. The yellow spotted salamander is the only vertebrate that uses photosynthesis = when the eggs are placed in an algal pool, the algae that causes photosynthesis gets into the eggs…and into the growing salamanders, who then can use it (in a way) to gain energy from the sun!! Unfortunately, their yellow spots do not glow in the dark :(. So sad.
