I spotted this in Nam Nao National Park. I know it's a gliding lizard but not sure of the exact species. I saw it on the trunk of a tree but it kept going higher and higher before I could get some closer shots.

Thanks marylou and Karen, added to the mission. @Yasser, thanks a lot, I appreciate the encouraging words. I'm having a great time sharing all my latest spottings too and there's still a lot more to come!
Dan, I'm really loving all of your recent spottings. You're adding even more amazing photos to your legendary collection.
Fantastic camouflage Dan!
You should consider adding this to the mimetic animals mission.
Wow, that is some great camo!
