I was photographing this green anole on a ti leaf when an ant appeared on the scene. The anole gave it the ‘Is that a snack?’ look, but decided that maybe that wasn’t a good idea. Some ants are not good eating.
The anole resumed keeping an eye on me, while the ant meandered around getting closer. At one point, the ant bumped into the anole’s foot and the anole flinched and yanked its foot away, as a person might do.
Following that incident, the anole began a half-hearted sequence of displaying its dewlap to show that this was his territory, but it seemed more aimed at wishing I would go away rather than doing anything about it!

Gorgeous shots and detail!! I wonder if the ant knew it was safe…..or even noticed/cared! 😉

Thanks Donna. I’m not sure what ants think, but I wouldn’t want a bunch angry with me!

It’s dewlap is very impressive.

This display is a bit half-hearted, but when they bob their head and puff the dewlap all the way out it’s quite a show.

Wow. That anole color and detail is fabulous. It feels like it could walk out the screen into my office.

It was. I could almost hear it say, ‘Ah, get it off me!’

The Anole really has a look of disdain 😂

Yes he does. It’s either that or a really grumpy look!

Wonderful detail on those shots – beautiful colours. And the lizard is framed perfectly in each of them.
