Another small-range Honduran endemic, the Lithobates lenca is named for the Lenca peoples of Honduras and El Salvador, the largest indigenous group in the region. They make some beautiful fabrics.

Two newts I've found in the yard. The top-most is more recent, and the orange one below is from last October. Both are Eastern Newts (Notophthalmus viridescens), and over on iNaturalist the orange one was identified down to subspecies Central Newt (N. viridescens ssp. louisianensis)
I'm eternally delighted by them and honored that they'd stop by my garden!
