I’ve posted twice previously with images of the Hispaniolan trunk anole (Anolis distichus) feeding on tiny insects, crickets, and beetles (1, 2). I took another such shot yesterday along the Recodo Road in the Dominican Republic, this time of A. distichus eating a bee. He spent the later part of this feeding episode scraping the wings off against the bark of the trunk.
Video taken in June 2010, in the Bahamas. This anole is having a feast courtesy of one of his main predators. The fruit is from the wild dilly bush, not an easy fruit to crack for an anole, but it doesn’t present a challenge for a hungry curly-tail lizard, searching for his daily portion of sugars and fibers. After the curly-tail had his fill, the anole moved in to devour the pulp. Video taken by Dave Steinberg.
