Green anole diet

Green anoles primarily eat small insects and spiders, such as crickets, fruit flies, and isopods. They are insectivores, meaning their diet consists mainly of insects they catch and swallow whole. Occasionally, they may also consume small invertebrates like caterpillars or small beetles. These lizards use their excellent eyesight to hunt actively, often gathering in sunny spots to wait for prey. Providing a diet rich in appropriately-sized live insects ensures their nutritional needs are met, supporting their health and vibrant green coloration.
