The newts in my pond have offspring!
I counted at least ten larvae. I had better go catch as many daphnia as I can get my hands on, I'm not sure the little pond can sustain them all. -

Quote of the Day …
"The people of Texas are informed that in accordance with a Proclamation from the Executive of the United States, all slaves are free. This involves an absolute equality of rights and rights of property between former masters and slaves, and the connection heretofore existing between them became that between employer and free laborer." -- General Order No. 3, read by Union General Gordon Granger, June 19, 1865 -

I just spent a quarter of an hour lying on the ground staring into my recently constructed pond. I saw:
1/ A pair of Large Red damselflies (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) laying eggs on a plant stem.
2/ A Common Blue damselfly (Enallagma cyathigerum) defending his territory.
3/ A water beetle of some sort.
4/ Three newts.
5/ A green bug of some sort crawl into the water and immediately be eaten by a newt.
6/ A pair of flies of some sort courting.
Ponds are good.

I met this rough-skinned newt on a trail today at Nisene Marks park in the Santa Cruz mountains. We have two kinds of newts in the area that you see a lot: the rough-skinned newt has a flat head, the California newt has bulgy eyes that stick up a bit, so I've learned to tell them apart. #hiking #photography #newt

Saw about half a dozen damselflies around my pond earlier today. Some red and some blue. No identification as they're too quick for me. A couple of pairs were flying around in tandem, then the male settled on a plant stem and brief copulation ensued.
The big question is are damselfly larvae food for newt larvae (a good thing) or are newt larvae food for damselfly larvae (a bad thing).
Yes, I have pro-newt bias.

CW: Eww, grotty newts half eaten by otters.
2/2
For years, I've been finding headless newts and have assumed that it was otters eating them. This day, I found a bunch of freshly dismembered newts, so fresh that their headless bodies were still wriggling when touched.This time, the otter was pretty conclusively the culprit, but why just eat the heads and why the dismemberment? Tails and feet were chewed off, but the only parts that seem to have been eaten were the heads. (More info in alt text.)
The newts' orange coloring is a form of aposematism, i.e. a warning mechanism that says "hey, I'm really nasty to eat so don't bother!" They are poisonous to most predators.
But are the heads less poisonous? Are they not poisonous to otters? And if they're not going to eat them, why chop the newts' bodies up so badly. Are they maybe like house cats that just like to hunt for "sport" and play with their prey to death?
Any #WildlifeBiologist or #herpetologist have any thoughts?
