I've seen more anoles than ever before in my garden this spring. I love them-- they have the entertainment value of pets without any of the actual work. And fewer bugs? Even better. :)
its always great to have garden helpers! the best garden helpers I ever spotted in my garden were wasps. I literally watched them slice cabbage worms in half and fly off with them.
When I would visit my Grandparents in Houston, I would catch anoles and I would entice them to bite me on my fingers and I would leave them there and attach them to my nose and tongue and then lie in wait for my poor grandma and jump out covered with lizards.
Its a wonder those poor things didnt catch something from me. That brings back some memories. Those were the days that you could still find Horny Toads in the wild. I remember keeping them as *temporary pets in cigar boxes. My dad would make me turn them loose after a couple days.
Anoles and Horned Toads will always represent joyful things to me. Nice picture. :)

Nice photo; I love seeing lizards in the garden, too.
Nice picture. I love my little bug eating geckos. Feels like my own pest control mini army.

Like little elves roaming the garden. Eating bugs.
