Lots of Anoles on Wednesday

This insect (I don’t know what it is) sat on the outside of the sliding glass door for most of the morning. It looks big in these close-ups, but its body was actually only about 1/2 inch long. Here it’s a dark silhouette against the green of the grass.

Brightened up, it looks like the rather creepy-looking insect is staring into the house.

Tomato after the rain today.

And a big male anole on the tomato cage.

Closer look at the anole.

Another male anole, this one with a dewlap injury. Instead of the full curve of a normal extended dewlap, his is only about half that size and comes to a point in front–maybe hurt in a fight.

And then there were baby anoles out on the fence today. This little one is a very young male.

Look at the big eyes on this little fellow.

A female baby anole. She looks a bit bigger and older than the male.

One more of the female baby, just before she jumped off the fence.

Very dramatic young mockingbird with lots of speckles on its chest.
