Anole commented on by John G. Phillips Panamá, Panama11 years ago

This is not a gecko. This is an anole.

Black Spiny-Tailed Iguana Juv. commented on by John G. Phillips Guanacaste, Costa Rica11 years ago

Nick is correct. I can provide juvenile basilisk photos if needed.

Unknown spotting commented on by John G. Phillips Honduras11 years ago

Sorry Nick, but this isn't a Sceloporus. It's definitely something from the famil Teiidae. It might be a little bit outside of the range, but it looks to me to be closer to an Aspidoscelis deppii

Walking Stick commented on by John G. Phillips Costa Rica11 years ago

Way too small for that.

Could also be a leopard frog. There are two species in Indiana (plus Green and Bullfrog).

Tracktor Milipede commented on by John G. Phillips Panamá, Panama11 years ago

This is a millipede, not a caterpillar

Leaf-Cutter Ant Waste Mound commented on by John G. Phillips Cartago, Costa Rica11 years ago

Argy, this was about a meter high, and 2-3 across. I've seen these take up a sizable area before. Jellis, I'm sure it would be. It's ant waste, so it probably has a decent nitrogen content.

Grand Cayman Anole commented on by John G. Phillips Cayman Islands11 years ago

garmani and equestris, going by Powell and Henderson 2012. I can send you the paper if you shoot me and email john-phillips@utulsa.edu

Grand Cayman Anole commented on by John G. Phillips Cayman Islands11 years ago

Marinus is correct. Out of the 5 anoles known for Grand Cayman, this is the only one that comes close. Looks like you have a female.
