Hi all! I'm a brand new member on here and I joined for one reason(so far). To access the wealth of knowledge online forums often are. So here's the story.
I live in Arizona and am in Idaho, near the town of Driggs, temporarily working on my parent's property. I was instructed to clean up this pond full of algae and low and behold, there are hundreds of these salamander larvae in and amongst the algae. I'd really like to know what species they are. I have a suspicion, but would rather let the experts here tell me what they are.
So without further ado, here are the pictures!

I've been nice and "missed" some algae so I don't completely destroy their hiding places. I've looked in several other ponds in the area and they're full of these guys too!
Thanks guys for your help, and any other ancillary information you can provide about them would be wonderful. I am considering taking a few home with me.
