One hot summer day in the Chiricahua mountains, I was attempting to recapture, a Yarrow’s spiny lizard. The lizard took off running as soon as it saw me. At one point during the chase I lost sight of the lizard. I thought it had gotten away. I decided to survey the area one last time.I looked behind me and there it was, watching me while on a tree. The only reason I saw the lizard was because of a large orange paint mark, the number 5, I had given the lizard the first time I caught it. It was such an amazing encounter that I wanted to share it on Twitter. To my surprise, people could’t find the lizard in the photo. Despite the conspicuous marking I had given it. These people enjoyed the search and suggested I regularly post photos with lizards hidden in them. I realized that this was a great opportunity to teach people interesting lizard facts and to have a greater appreciation for lizards.
