Diego PastorPsammodromus algirus (fam. Lacertidae)
[ES] Esta lagartija colilarga posó pacientemente mientras yo le hacía fotos y la hormiga (Camponotus cruentatus) se paseaba sobre ella. Me parecen lagartijas "dóciles", fáciles de fotografiar porque, aunque se asustan, no se esconden inmediatamente; si te mueves despacio, puedes acercarte mucho.
Es una especie mediterránea, distribuyéndose por el norte de África y el suroeste de Europa. Me encantan sus escamas "pinchudas".
[EN] This lizard remained still while I was taking photos of it and the ant was walking on its body. I think this species is "docile", they are easy to photograph because they don't hide inmediately when they are scared and they let you approach a lot if you move slowly.
It is a mediterranean species, distributed in North Africa and Southwest Europe. I love its "spiky" scales.

Equipo/Equipment: Canon EOS 400D + Tamron SP 90 mm f/2.8 Di MACRO 1:1
ISO 1600, s 1/1250, f/6,3 (Todavía estaba experimentando a usar ISO alto/I was still experimenting with high ISO). A pulso/Handheld.
