Brown basilisk lizard with a dragonfly meal

Brown basilisk lizard with a dragonfly meal (Basiliscus vittatus)

This young basilisk seemed to take over this cypress knee as its hunting zone - I'd watch the lizard back down a bit and hunker down low, wait for a dragonfly to land on the top, then lunge up and grab it...this went on at least 3 times while I was watching, so it had a good system set up.
