First of these I have seen this year. A few are a bright green but most around here are a grayish-brown. This one is about 2½ to 3 inches.

Seems as though it was looking right at me in the first image there Harold and then away and off to the right in the second. I chased this one about the lawn for what seemed to be a good long while. One thing that puzzles me though, I only used one flash but yet there are two separate spots of light in the anoles eye, in the first shot.
Here a much closer look. One is round the other square, like a pixel.
Thanks Harold

No. This is major discovery in the evolution of the eye.rjlittlefield wrote:Round=sun, square=flash?Ken Ramos wrote:One is round the other square, like a pixel.

Soft parts of fossils do not survive but this shows that a light receptor with a pixel-like structure may go right back to the dinosaurs, remaining only in some primitive vertebrates.
The development of cones and rods was more advanced, paralleled, in modern times, by the development of film. Good luck with your doomed digital technology
