Asian Water Monitor
Wikipedia: The Asian water monitor (Varanus salvator) is a large varanid lizard native to South and Southeast Asia. It is one of the most common monitor lizards in Asia, ranging from coastal northeast India, Sri Lanka, mainland Southeast Asia to Indonesian islands where it lives close to water. It is listed as Least Concern on the IUCN Red List. It was described by Laurenti in 1768 and is among the largest squamates in the world.
The Asian water monitor is also called Malayan water monitor, common water monitor, two-banded monitor, rice lizard, ring lizard, plain lizard, no-mark lizard and water monitor.

All I can think about when I look at this picture is how badly the mosquitos were attacking me at the time. I got there too early and was afraid I wouldn’t even make it to sunrise. After the sun finally came up I fled way sooner than I would have liked considering how long it took me to get up there. This is also where I was sitting when I took the wildflower image I posted a few days ago.
Acadia NP is broken up into three large sections. This is the easternmost -- Schoodic Peninsula. I will present not only bits of the national park, but also some towns and nature preserves.
Crane Flies look like giant mosquitos, but they do not bite. They somehow gained a reputation as mosquito eaters, but the adults don’t eat anything at all - they only live 10 – 15 days.
Happy Sliders Sunday!

Este mosquito es de un tamaño bastante inferior al de una mosca común , está sacada sujetando el posadero con la mano izquierda en alto y disparando con la derecha.

This one has been photobombed by a Badger.
Yep, you guessed it. That's the mighty mosquito hiding out under a leaf, just waiting for the next blood meal. If anything I was surprised it didn't pop out and suck my blood. Maybe I should name this female Bloody Mary ;)

Heute ist es hier so heiß wie vor 2 Wochen in Greetsiel und auch die Mücken tanzen hier in großen Mengen.
Lasst es euch trotzdem gut gehen !
Today it is as hot here as it was 2 weeks ago in Greetsiel and also the mosquitoes dance here in large numbers.
Have a good time anyway!
