Field Notes
Description:
The Six-lined Racerunner is typically dark green, brown, or black in color, with six yellow or green-yellow stripes that extend down the body from head to tail. The underside is usually white in color on females, and a pale blue in males. Males also sometimes have a pale green-colored throat. They are slender-bodied, with a tail nearly twice the body length. It was very fast and the colors were very flashy!
Habitat:
Due to its extensive range, it is found in a wide variety of habitats including grasslands, woodlands, open floodplains, or rocky outcroppings. It prefers lower elevations, with dry loamy soils.
Notes:
This gorgeous yellow-lined lizard was catching insects buzzing around the ivy outside an events building near Pigeon Forge, TN.
