A baby Oriental Garden Lizard (Calotes versicolor) sits on a marigold flower in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 12, 2026. Weighing under 5g and measuring just a few inches, the lizard uses bright petals as ambush points to hunt tiny insects like aphids, ants, and flies, serving as natural pest control by eating insects and caterpillars. As diurnal creatures, they use flowers as vantage points to sunbathe and regulate their temperature. A small butterfly is seen landing on the flower to feed on the nectar.
