I believe this to be a lizard in the Gonocephalus genus, commonly known as an angelhead lizard. This is another one from Sumatra in Indonesia and it was photographed just outside the front door of my bungalow. Nikon D700 with Nikkor 70-200mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 1600, f/2.8 at 1/60th of a second
They appoint themselves to provide security services. Back when I was married and the kids were little, we spent a week at a timeshare condo in Branson. We had one at the front door and one at the back. We appreciated their fine work at keeping insects away. And when they went to sleep at night, the bats came out to pick up the slack. All was right as far as we were concerned.
we need a few more of these wonderful lizae around here to eat the bug, so we dont have spray insectside as much, ) I am talking about people in gen. ) Ipestide free for the last few years, and I seen more, gardeen snakes and other lizard out. me )
Lizards of all kinds are fascinating to watch. They move so slowly most of the time (unless startled of course, when they dart away so fast you can see a little cartoon cloud behind them) and it is so meditative to watch them. Great shot!

I wonder who picked the “angel head” name for this lizard . . . and why.
Wonderfully vivid detail of the skin/hide.
Not sure Sally. But there are quite a few different species and subspecies that get the name.
Clothed in lichen
Limbs of sticks and twigs and still
All is looking up .
If that creepy thing were to be lurking just outside MY bungalow, I would ask for my money back!!!!
