A Blue-eyed Anole (Anolis woodi) showing off in Monteverde Reserve Surprisingly, this single anole was the only lizard I saw in a guided group hike in Monteverde Reserve. It was perched in a clearing and displaying its dewlap. Unfortunately its blue eyes are not visible in the picture due to the angle of the light.

    beautiful shot, great contrast to the background. What a poser he is!
    Don't go on group hikes. Next time, try my garden :) you are welcome, we have a lizard in the workshop, many in the garden and even in the house.     Posted 9 years ago

      Thanks Annette! I am in general against group hikes, but we were traveling to Costa Rica with my mom on this occasion and we took an organized tour for convenience. It was a good company, focused on nature, but of course that still leaves you with the group hikes. Posted 9 years ago
