Dalmatolacerta oxycephala (Squamata: Lacertidae) eating a stink bug on the island of Cres, Croatia, along with other ecological notes

During a visit to Osor on the island Cres, Croatia, in mid August 2016 I photographed one adult Dalmatolacerta oxycephala eating a stink bug of the (family Pentatomidae). Judging from the pertinent literature it is concluded that D. oxycephala eats a wide variety of invertebrates, including scorpions, beetles and possibly even centipedes. Ripe fruit is also eaten. D. oxycephala is comfortable with humans at Osor and in other habitats visited frequently by people, whereas it proves very shy in other habitats. At Osor one Hierophis gemonensis was apparently hunting D. oxycephala in a wall.
