The Basilisk
The Brown Basilisk or Striped Basilisk (Basiliscus vittatus)
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Basiliscus_vittatus
A very hot and humid day at the Wakodahatchee Wetlands but I would imagine this Basilisk felt very much at home considering they are native to Panama, Belize, northwestern Colombia and Costa Rica. For Florida, another introduced non-native.
