There are more than two dozen anole species in Costa Rica alone, so it's often difficult to identify an individual lizard. Fortunately for me, there's only one bright green species. This one was on the trunk of a palm tree, hiding behind palm leaves swaying in the breeze.

Some authorities put most of the Central and South American anole species (as opposed to the U.S./Caribbean ones) into the genus Norops. This will probably be the standard soon, but for now there are still many authorities using "Anolis".

I have not yet identified all of the anoles from this trip. Please send me mail if you can help.
