Skink- with hitchiker

This little lizard is a skink, common in gardens in Australia. He's about 5cm long, and when I took the shot I couldn't even see the even smaller mite sitting on his snout. He was quite a good model, happy to sit for several shots, and didn't even sign a release ;)

Canon PowerShot A70
1/200s f/4.8 at 16.2mm full exif

Beautiful shot of a Delicate Grass Skink (Lampropholis delicata) and what looks suspiciously like an aphid. Well done!
