A larval red salamander (Pseudotriton ruber) found during a recent bioinventory. They can look similar to small Tennessee Cave Salmander (Gyrinophilus palleucus) at this stage, but the eyes are much more developed and larger and a bit less of a 'flat nose/shovelhead' look. I'll post a similar size G palleucus soon so you can see the difference.

Just some cuties taking refuge on our porch during the storm.
