Author's comments:
La salamanquesa común es ampliamente encontrada desde el norte de África en la costa mediterránea, por toda la península ibérica hasta las costas de Italia y Grecia. Desde Egipto se extiende hasta Marruecos y Sahara Occidental, se cree que llegaron a Argentina por medio de barcos que transportaban madera y corcho. Es inofensiva y cumple un importante rol en el equilibrio natural. Se alimenta de cucarachas, arañas polillas y grillos.
