Anoles are parasitized by some species of sarcophagid flies, including Lepidodexia blakeae. [31] Adult flies will deposit eggs on live anoles, and the fly larvae develop inside the lizard until they emerge from a wound and pupate into adult flies in sediment. Infection is often fatal, with mortality rates possibly as high as 90%. [31]
Although typically only laying a single egg per time (clutch), females of many anole species can lay an egg every five days to four weeks. [7] [8] Some only have a single clutch per year, while other species may have as many as 20 on average. Depending on species, anole eggs hatch after about 30–70 days. [15]
They may also eat other lizards, such as skinks, geckos, curly-tailed lizards, the Carolina anole, lizard eggs and hatchlings (including members of their species), and their own molted skin and detached tails. [33] If near water, they eat aquatic arthropods or small fish – nearly any prey that will fit in their mouths.
The knight anole (Anolis equestris) is the largest species of anole (US: / ə ˈ n oʊ. l i / ⓘ) in the Dactyloidae family. [1] Other common names include Cuban knight anole or Cuban giant anole, highlighting its native country, but it has also been introduced to Florida.

Anolis is a genus of anoles (US: / ə ˈ n oʊ. l i z / ⓘ), iguanian lizards in the family Dactyloidae, native to the Americas.With more than 425 species, [1] it represents the world's most species-rich amniote tetrapod genus, although many of these have been proposed to be moved to other genera, in which case only about 45 Anolis species remain.

Anolis allisoni, also known commonly as Allison's anole or Cuban blue anole is a species of lizard in the family Dactyloidae.The species is endemic to Cuba (except the west and the far southeast), the Bay Islands and Cayos Cochinos off the mainland of Honduras, and Half Moon Caye off the mainland of Belize.
Compared to many other anoles, it is a stocky, muscular and aggressive, [13] although it is a small (compared to Central American anoles) [14] to moderately-sized species (compared to insular Caribbean anoles). Measurements in 2015 found the animals to have a snout-vent length (SVL) which can reach to 75 mm (3.0 in) in males, and up to 73 mm (2 ...
