The Red-headed basilisk or Western basilisk (Basiliscus galeritus) is a  lizard relative of iguanas. It has a prominent crest on the head and an exceptional ability to run on water surfaces, allowing it to escape from predators. It is a common species in the Colombian Pacific region and, although it is not threatened, pressure from illegal mining and forest logging may decimate its populations (photo by Juan Gonzalo Ochoa, DVM, Escuela de Medicina Veterinaria, Facultad de Ciencias Agrarias, Universidad de Antioquia, Colombia).

Scanning electron micrograph of a male Rhipicephalus sanguineus (Acari: Ixodidae) of tropical lineage. This tick is the main vector of canine erlichiosis in the neotropics and is a potential vector of the deadly Rickettsia rickettsii. This ectoparasite belongs to a close related group of ticks known as the R. sanguineus complex. This species complex, widely distributed across the world, affects mainly dogs. Micrograph taken by Luis E. Paternina at the Advanced Microscopy Laboratory (Laboratorio de Microscopía Avanzada) from the Universidad Nacional de Colombia, Medellín.
