My friend, the green lizard (Lacerta viridis ssp. meridionalis) is still staying near our house. I was picking som figs from our tiny fig tree, when I suddenly discovered I was not the only one there. The lizard was even bigger than last year, must be around 35-40 cm long now. It was watching me intently when I photographed it, wondering how to get away from from a sticky situation. I must admit I was slightly frightened at first as well, before I realized what it was.
I don't think it is stealing my figs, but probably enjoying all the ants licking the sweet juice oozing from the fig, so it is a useful companion animal.
