Javier Lobon Rovira, a graduate student working on geckos, decided to up his game and pay attention to anoles. Here’s what resulted! The lizards were found on 24th of August in the surroundings of Gainesville, Florida, displaying from a tree branch around one meter high. He found a second specimen close by sleeping at night on a small bush close to a water pond.
Professor of Biology and Director of the Living Earth Collaborative at Washington University in Saint Louis. I've spent my entire professional career studying anoles and have discovered that the more I learn about anoles, the more I realize I don't know.

I certainly find them one of the most appealing lizards, aesthetically. Probably not an uncommon view on this site. 🙂

Absolutely gorgeous macro shot of the green anole
captured by Mr. Rovira. These were once numerous
in my eastern NC yard but, sadly, I only see them rarely
these past 3-4 years. I miss them!

Bravo Mr. Rovira! Gainesville was my home for the better part of a decade, and I’ve lost count of how many good pictures I’ve scored of carolinensis. This is, however, by far one of the best I’ve ever seen. Beautiful specimen, photography, color, and composition!
