You thought I was kidding about the Roatan allisoni doing their best grass anole imitation? See how many you find in this photo. There are at least five, but maybe I missed some.

OK… I give up I got 4

Will Baugher – Agreed! Yoel Stuart and I counted four, and what may be a fifth in the top left corner… but it’s a bit of a long shot.
Kevin de Queiroz
I see six.
Ludovic Deutsch
I see six also, but I hope it’s an anole not a leaf.
Jonathan Losos
Ok, Kevin and Ludovic, where are your six??? I only get five.
Peter Mudde
I see five, but I have to ‘rediscover’ them every time I look at this picture. One is looked on from behind on its back? Of do I see a leaf with anoline features?
Kevin de Queiroz
Hard to describe when all the reference points are green leaves. Is there a way to tag objects in the photo?
Kevin de Queiroz
Here are my six. Which one did you not see (or do you not believe)?
Martha Munoz
Yoel and I found four. The fifth that we weren’t sure about was exactly the same one you circled in the top left corner. We decided we weren’t positive that was a lizard. The sixth one you see is just up and to the right from the big guy basking vertical, face-done on a blade of grass. Are you sure about the sixth one?
Jonathan Losos
I think I had the same question about the sixth one, one of the three in a tight cluster. Does sort of seem like a green thing with a leg…

Using the digital color-tool on my mac, I notice the five we agree on have about the same color-code (R 52-62, G =78-92 B=28-36) whereas the alledged sixth has (R=41-50,G-80-89 B=42-48), which is close to that of the grass. Changing the color-composition with Photoshop (playing a bit with ‘curves’ changing from green to red f.i.) doesn’t lighten up anything in that area neither, but it does make the other five stand out more.
