Hmmmm....I really have no idea either. But, his color is beautiful.....whatever the reason!! :)
The outside light was off then I turn it on... and it was there .....Perhaps in the dark the camouflage works....no idea???
I read where they become camoflage to their environment!!
The place he has “landed” on looks like a brownish-copper colored tile?
Perhaps, he has just changed his color to reflect that.....
Though, he is REALLY BRIGHT!! :)
Thank you, SarahWhitt. I do not know enough about them, so I do not know if that is the color they are when Juvenile...
What an interesting find!! The only ones I have ever seen were dark brown.
