Fantastic capture! The ones we have can go from lime green to mottled brown depending on the background. I've seen them from 1/2 inch hatchlings to gigantic ones that could carry off a cat.

I tried to introduce these into my garden last year, but haven't seen any results. I guess the birds might have gotten them. Wonderful closeup!
