Very good detailed capture of both the lizard but also the 2 Ticks attached to it feeding. They seem very prone to attack from both Ticks and mites both of which can seriously weaken them if they are attacked by enough of them.

La capture détaillée très bonne de tous les deux le lézard mais également les 2 coutils a attaché à elle alimentant. Ils semblent très enclins attaquer des deux coutils et acarides dont tous les deux peuvent sérieusement les affaiblir si elles sont attaquées par assez d'elles.

Emmanuel,
what an excellent close up portrait of that lizard! Incedibly sharp on details, rich colours. And very good notes, as always. Poor thing, the lizard - without reading your note I would not have seen its parasites. Thank you for that outstanding piece of documentary nature photography!
Best regards,
Peter

Very good picture - perfect sharpness and colors. I didn´t know the lizards can host the ticks - thanks for the new finding. TFS

Great shot, looks like some ticks have hitched a ride
