Green Anole with butterfly

I was wandering around the yard trying to get a photo of a Gulf Fritillary butterfly, when I suddenly spotted one…unfortunately…a Green Anole got to it first.h 025cs 

He sat very still for several photos.h 037cs

You can see he kept his eye on me.h 048cs

Every now and then he’d try to gulp down a bit more.h 052cs h 056cs h 057cs He’s thinking about making a run for it. I got this just as he dashed around the bush and headed for thicker bushes and roots.h 063cs

Here he is in action.

  8. Oh, Carol, I couldn't bring myself to watch the video. I know they have to eat, but I still hate to see it. :) Great captures, though!
