These little lizards kind of give me the creeps — more so, when they get indoors! You’ve got some great shots here, Barbara. I’m fascinated by its tiny hands!
Thank you, Debbie. I’ve never had a lizard in the house before but I imagine that would be a startling encounter. Less creepy than seeing a spider, though, for me!
There aren’t any house centipedes here to my eyes. I looked them up on google. They look creepy! But I’m glad to know that house centipedes eat spiders!
2021 hard freeze killed all the green 5-6” lizards. There were no lizards for a whole year! Finally they did come back so tiny, the size of my pinky and camouflage brown. Now we have a comfortable amount of lizards. I’ve never had a lizard come inside my house, but they do love to patrol for bugs along the perimeter of the outside of my house. Last summer I saw a 5” green lizard next to my back door with a small brown cricket halfway down the lizard’s throat. When the lizard saw me it froze. I ignored him. He finished his dinner and went underneath the house to hide. Lizards are beneficial creatures! I’m happy to share my outdoor space with them. I have seen their throats bellow up and it is fascinating!
Oh my – this lizard looks like it is fluorescent green and would light up in the dark. What a surprise to see this at the Gardens. I think I’d jump a mile if it ran along a branch! I visited friends of the family in Puerto Rico for Easter vacation in high school senior year. Their apartment building had two huge tropical bushes of some kind out front where the lizards liked to sun during the heat of the day. Whenever we got close to the bushes the lizards would run out and run around the front of the building. I admit I was scared of them.
He was only about 6 inches long and actually kind of cute. This one was on the move, looking for a mate, I assume, practicing inflating that brightly colored pink dewlap as he went along. My camera didn’t manage to catch if fully inflated but it was pretty spectacular. Now that you mention the lizards in Puerto Rico I do remember visiting relatives in Florida who had anoles around, some of them would sun themselves on the porch railings and some even came inside the house. I suppose people get used to them after living there a while. They are harmless.
Ha, I love those randy anoles!
Lol – I didn’t see the object of his desire!
oh what a magic ♥
He’s a fascinating little creature. ♡

I love to see the lizards because lizards eat the bugs! This one is a greenie meanie!!
That’s how I feel about house centipedes! I used to be afraid of them until I learned that they hunt down and eat spiders!
