Notes
Male flipped beneath small (~4" diameter) log in wet soil laying in thick grass. Two small females flipped in immediate vicinity, one of which was beneath an adjacent log with a semi-terrestrial eggmass. This male appeared young as evidenced by remnant gill buds. Likely morphed in Spring 2006 under duress and hasn't experienced much growth.
