Okay...not a sword, but this anole seems to be trying to swallow a grasshopper's leg. He got annoyed being watched and took his meal to a more private setting.
Now that's a mouthful!

That's quite a picture. We returned to CT a year ago only to discover we had a stowaway (anole). Our daughter adopted it, bought an aquarium/terrarium and feeds it tiny crickets. I bet it would love a grasshopper too. Greg.
Thanks, gj. I think it would make a great pet.

A great capture, thanks!!
Thanks, Dick. Believe it or not I came across a grasshopper missing one of its hind legs and he was doing just fine...although he jumped to one side every time.
