Avec Christine, on a fêté nos 40 ans d'amitié en faisant en Octobre un voyage de 15 jours en Sicile.
Une nouvelle excursion au départ de Palerme : le site archéologique de Sélinonte (Selinunte). Mais pour finir, un peu d'herpétologie : des lézards (sans doute des endémiques Podarcis siculus, à confirmer) et des tarentes, petits geckos méditerranéens.
La plante aux épines acérées est un Acacia karroo.
Critter fact #41:
The Italian Wall Lizard (Podarcis siculus) is the most abundant lizard species in southern Italy. It has been introduced outside of its native range to the Iberian peninsula and to some parts of the US (mainly in cities)
A lizard (P. siculus) I observed in my garden, while he struggled to swallow a pretty large pill bug.
Italian wall lizard, rosemary flowers and several honey bees!

Italian Wall Lizard
Podarcis siculus
Podarcis transtlates into arched-foot or bow-foot, while siculus means Sicilian (coming from Sicily, a part of Italy).
Family: Lacertidae (Wall Lizards)
Fun Fact: There are a few different subspecies, and this can be seen through island biogeography (that animals change morphologically, ad/or their behaviors by being isolated on separate islands with different environmental factors). This STUDY, shows how a few breeding pairs of Italian wall lizards that were introduced by man to a neighboring island in the Adriatic Sea changed (through natural selection) over the course of only 50 years.
Habitat: They are endemic to Mediterranean scrub and grasslands of Italy, Slovenia, Croatia, Montenegro, and islands such as Sicily, Corisca, and Sardinia. They are invasive in Spain, Turkey, and the United States.
Ecosystem Role: They help control insect and invertebrate populations. They provide food for snakes, and birds of prey.
Conservation Status: Least Concern
