First captured Eurycea chisholmensis with this trap. The first two federally listed E. chisholmensis salamanders captured using the modified leaf litter trap. One is an adult, and the other is a juvenile, showcasing the trap’s effectiveness in capturing different life stages. Photos of these salamanders were taken to be able to identify them as recaptured in successive surveys using the Wild ID software.
