    This may be the smallest one I've seen. Love these guys who patrol the plants and yard looking for bugs to eat!

    The leaf he/she is sitting on is Dracaena sanderiana. Background leaves are parlor palm, Chamaedorea elegans.

    What critters visit your plants?

    None as cute as your little anole worst luck. The nearest I've come to a lizard of any sort is a newt. He/she was more interested in the pond though then the plants.

    I've seen lots of them around here this year. And frogs/toads.
    I think I finally convinced the dawg to leave them alone and that she could better spend her time chasing armadillos and racoons. :-D

    Being organic I have a lot of toads and frogs...We had a toad in our garage bigger than my husbands fist so we got him out of there before the dogs noticed him.

    I haven't noticed anything as small as your little anole but he sure is cute.

    Great pictures...

    Man, I wish I had cute things like this visiting my plants, but all I seem to get is bugs.

    Though remember I DID get this! :D Haven't seen him in a while though.

    I like the lizards... and don't mind a garden spider... but those grasshoppers have got to go!

    Aww I don't mind him. He's big and clumsy, and I know he's munching on some of my plants but I've gotten a soft spot for him. He's been around for weeks.

    They do too much damage for my liking. I've seen them wipe out a plant in just a couple of days.
    BUT... in their defense... they do have nice coloring. :-D
