• The characteristic black dorsal stripe of the female Slow-worm is clearly visible in the final photograph. The head markings differ between individuals. These legless lizards live mainly on slugs (so the ant is in no danger) and unlike snakes they are able to blink their eyes - a necessary attribute when there is a need to remove slug slime after a meal! Another photograph may be seen on Amphibians and Reptiles 17.
