@Ben: Interesting indeed. I guess some these species are very evolved versions of "once aquatic" creatures @alice" :)

Wow that's quite similar to a common skink we have here in Sydney, Australia. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7750610 That is a juvenile in this picture. You also posted a bug that was quite similar also to one we have here in Sydney. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/7731566 Interesting!
