The Big Night without martinis or high heels

http://www.virginiaherpetologicalsociety.com/amphibians/salamanders/spotted-salamander/sp_spotted%20salamander224.JPGWhy did the salamander cross the road? If it was the first spring evening where temperatures did not dip below 40 degrees and it was raining, the answer is it crossed the road with LOTS of friends to get to the woodland pool on the other side of the road and breed! There can be thousands of frogs and salamanders crossing at the same time if the conditions are just right. This is called The Big Night. These little amphibians are remarkably cute for crawling things, and they are an important part of the food chain, but they are very susceptible to pesticides and weedkillers. Be kind to salamanders, and of course to our children, and don’t use synthetic chemicals in your yard!
