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.

Conservation status: Least Concern
Not many mosquitos on this snowy day in late May, but beautiful new growth on the willows along Rock Creek. At 10,370 ft (3160 m), this is one of the highest places one can drive in the Eastern Sierra. I am eager to hike here, hopefully this coming autumn, as I won't have to gain much elevation to feel high in the mountains.
Hope everyone has a great Wednesday! Thanks for stopping by and for all of your kind comments.

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!

I was inspired to create these images by the so-called "conspiracy theorists". (German Schwurbler) On various Telegram channels, theories circulate that insects are being bred to secretly vaccinate people. 😂

The four-spotted chaser (Libellula quadrimaculata), known in North America as the four-spotted skimmer, is a dragonfly of the family Libellulidae found widely throughout Europe, Asia, and North America.
The adult stage is found between April to early September in the United Kingdom, and from mid-May to mid-August in Ireland. Larvae have a two-year developmental cycle. Adults feed predominantly on mosquitoes, gnats, and midges the larvae feed primarily on other aquatic insect larvae and on tadpoles.
The male is considered to be highly aggressive and will defend a given territory from incursions from other males of the species. The male is known to form preferences for prominent perches and will often return to the same perches around the margins of pools and ponds whilst it patrols for intruders. Males have a favourable view of the sky during perching. They look toward a section of the sky away from the sun, with less radiation but a higher UV and blue-violet saturation. Thus, the fovea of the eyes, which is sensitive to blue and UV radiation, is optimally suited to the detection of flying insects against the blue sky.[3] Both sexes are prolific fliers, and mating takes place in the air, rather than on perches or amongst the vegetation. The female lays her eggs on floating vegetation. They tend to be easier to approach than Broad-bodied Chasers.

Mosquitoes are members of a group of about 3,500 species of small flies within the family Culicidae.

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!
