Wife raking some leaves and uncovers this little feller unharmed, recovered him with leaves and let him be.

Great shot of a red.

Thanks Nic, that was at 3040 feet elevation near Suches.

 

[blood on the ground]

I didn't know they made red one's!

We used to get them out of a spring head in Ohio. Very cool

 

[Red dirt clod]

Yea first one I’ve seen.

 

[Thunder Head]

Cool,
Its been a very long time since ive seen one.

 

[NCHillbilly]

They're fairly common up here in the mountains, but probably rare or non-existent elsewhere. Good shot!

Yep, when i used to spend part of my summer in Murphy. Wasnt hard to find one.

Ive seen one here along the river corridor.
