Haha … I don’t think it realizes it’s on a lizard. Looks like good camouflage. Ground Crab Spider, Xysticus.
Great photo! I wonder how long it took for the spider or lizard to realize their living arrangements are odd. This would make a good photo for National Geographic, they print submitted photos.
