When they are fresh like that they hang motionless... fascinating stuff. <br /><br />We have dozens of anoles in our yard... all sizes and colors. But your green one is at least pretty. And yes, the male is attracting a female with his throaty thingie. Eat away, lizards...

Several years ago I Had a pitch fork set up with 5 chrysalises and 10 male Black Swallowtails waiting for the females to emerge so they could mate with them.<br /><br />Kelly be careful with fennel it has taken over here, I spent hours every year Randy Emmitthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10292186655869617897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32800870.post-10057159062106669702009-07-19T22:31:16.242-04:002009-07-19T22:31:16.242-04:00What fun!!

They are so difficult to capture as they flutter about. I love the Anole lizards. They are all over our yard and we enjoy them. They change colors from green to brown when they get onto our brown brick wall. I think they change colors according to what colors they are on or seem to anyway.
