Just had to go out in the yard to test my nighttime macro skills.
Saw two of these baby lizards sleeping on leaves. I'd say the lizard was about 3-4 inches - not counting the tail.
Had my Home Depot LED Headlamp on so nothing could see me coming.
60mm f2.8 with a 3x glass on the front. However, did not really need it on this shot because I wanted to get the "whole" scene in the shot.
So this is how they sleep.

Ha...! Well I guess that explains my never getting over the ribbon "hump" ! My photos and titles are TOO brilliant for the average bear.
:-)
Her rear legs are exactly where you would think they would be. They are simply held very close to her body and STRETCHED out in the middle of the leaf...hence "Be the leaf Lizzy...be the leaf". I'm no expert but I'm guessing this is to fool predators into thinking Lizzy is simply part of the leaf !
Thanks for the comments !
