Does Squinting Make It Look Alive?

Looking out my kitchen window I saw this weird lizard on my crepe myrtle tree and ran for the camera hoping it would still be there when I returned and it was! Have I mentioned my eyesight is not what it used to be?

Looks like a stick insect to me!!!

@30pics4jackiesdiamond I wondered about that too actually and you are half right!

Go to bed♥

@grammyn I'm watching Poirot, half an hour more ( and only 36 rows to go!!)

[katy]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond awesome on the knitting!

[Joan Robillard]

@30pics4jackiesdiamond My first thought too and I have descent eye sight

[Marilyn Wigen]

I love the way his tail divides! 😂

[Shutterbug]

Looked like one of those sticklike insects to me also. I have fine eyesight since my cataract surgery.

[Milanie]

Really nice shot

[summerfield]

you're bamming. i see no lizard nor stick-like insect. and i'm wearing my glasses! 😜

[Wyomingsister]

It'll never get away!! Great lizard lookalike!

[Terri]

It looks like a piece of bark or part of a tree that landed there....I'm having a hard time finding any legs or eyes or......anything that looks like an insect...😕🕷️ Would love to see if this thing...walks...or flies away.....

[Kathy A]

There's definitely a face on that piece of bark 😂

[Diana]

What a great find and fun narrative Katy! It definitely is a critter ;-)

[Dione Giorgio]

I am still not sure whether it is a lizard or a broken branch. What a cool find!

[Lou Ann]

So cool!

[Cazzi]

Have you got us all fooled or is this really an insect, it certainly looks like it could be but can't really tell.

[Leslie]

I bet he'll be your friend and pose for quite awhile

I have had cataract surgery on both eyes but after a serious car wreck almost ten years ago I had lots of blood clots in my eyes and it created some blind spots in my vision. Most of the time it isn't a problem but occasionally I can be fooled by something like this. Thank you for all your fun comments

[Kathy]

It would have been easily overlooked.

[katy]

@randystreat i’m really not certain how it caught my eye.

[Kathy]

I see that it isn't alive now. On the phone, the stick looked very much like a lizard lying there.

[katy]

@randystreat Lol! I know, right?!

[GaryW]

I would have gotten my camera, too! I had to blow it up here to see it wasn't real.

[katy]

@thewatersphotos Good to know I am in such great company Gary. Thanks

[Mary Siegle]

Ha, ha, ha! Fooled you!

[katy]

@mcsiegle IT sure did
