While searching for salamander illustrations to include on the Terrestrial Salamander Monitoring Program website, I came across the illustrations of Rachel Ivanyi at Science-art.com. I've emailed Rachel to request placing a sample of her work on this blog for all to see her incredible work. As soon as I have more details I'll post them...if you can't wait here's a link to Rachel's salamander illustration at science-art.com.

Rachel emailed me and gave permission to use the image above. Thanks Rachel! This watercolor shows a series of salamanders from the family Plethodontidae, the lungless salamanders. Genus:Hydromantes, Ensatina, Aneides, Plethodon, Pseudoeurycea.
