Look who caught supper...
There is a juvenile anole that likes to hang out in the Sedum 'Autumn Fire'. I'd say he is pretty clever since he camouflages pretty well there making it a great place to hide out and hunt for his supper.
Today I caught him in action. He was being a little camera shy or maybe he just wanted to eat in peace and quiet without some crazy lady pointing a camera in his face. Truth be told it would be rather annoying having the paparazzi interrupting a perfectly good meal.
He kept sneaking further and further into the center of the Sedum trying to get away from me and the elusive black lens. I moved around trying to get a good angle but he wasn't having any of it.
Can you tell what he caught? I think it looks like a Katydid. They are related to grasshoppers and crickets, are most active in the evening and known for their loud song. They eat flowers, stems and fruits of many plants. So I say, way to go little anole and Bon Appétit!
