Information about the Blue-Spotted Salamander:

Blue-Spotted is a mole salamander native to the Great Lakes states and northeastern United States, and parts of Ontario and Quebec in Canada. Their range is known to extend to James Bay to the north, and southeastern Manitoba to the west. Blue-spotted salamanders are primarily found in moist, deciduous hardwood forests and swampy woodlands, though they can be found in coniferous forests and fields too. They prefer vernal pools that retain water into mid-summer, to ensure access to a suitable breeding habitat. Underbrush, leaf litter, rocks and logs are commonly used for shelter.

Artist’s notes:

The Blue-Spotted Salamander was completed on 7.16.2013. I had been working on a collection of all native frogs and toad of my home state of Minnesota, and realized that I might as well get going on all native amphibians – one of which is the lovely Blue-Spotted Salamander. Although I don’t recall ever coming in contact with the species while living there, I really love the coloration of this animal. The drawing is based on a photo by Jake Scott.
