Here’s another highlight from the collection of videos that the Glor Lab recorded during an expedition in the summer of 2010 (see our previously posted videos of a fight, color change, and mating). This video is an interaction between a male Anolis distichus and a caterpillar. This interaction left one of the participants with a good meal and the other, well, let’s just say he’s a part of the circle of life.

Great video! It’s not clear until the end if the catepillar is food or simply an accessory to make for a more impressive display. Maybe he was feeling a little Anolis proboscis envy.

It would be even more impressive if done with an adult lepidopteran!
