Field Notes

Description:

Gorgeous bright breen lizard, about 4-5inches including the tail. I see them quite often. I've found they can change their color from bright green, to a purple-ish brown color...pretty either way!

Nice photo! The scientific name of the green anole is Anolis carolinensis. Would you mind adding that to the scientific name field? Many thanks!
