Patio Anoles

This little guy has been hanging around the patio for a few days now.  I'm hoping the greenery will keep him well fed with little critters.  Pretty sure something has been eating my plants and leaving a bit of leaf litter.  At first I though it might be bunnies but the pattern doesn't seem to match.  Bugs are more likely the culprit.

One of my earliest memories is of these guys outside my grandparents houses.  Down in Southwest Louisiana it's warm and humid, perfect conditions for these guys to thrive.  We'd catch them and put them in a box to carry around.  they can change colors depending on where they are from bright green to brown.  Fun to watch them change.  Also in the spring they puff up their throats with a big red fan and pulse to attract other anoles.
