Before strolling over to the waterfall and treehouse, the egret hunted brown anoles (</span><em>Anolis sagrei</em><span style="font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif">) on top of the Pfeffer-Beach Butterfly House - a most welcome sight.</span> Brown anoles, the common lizard seen skittering around these parts, are an exotic species from Cuba and the Bahamas...and they love, love, love to eat butterflies.  </p> Tue, 10 Jan 2012 23:40:00 GMT http://www.naplesgarden.org/show/the-childrens-garden/post/78/look-who-enjoyed-the-children's-garden-today!
