Horny toad

Good camouflage scheme.

You often don't see them till they move!

As they say in the army "movement betrays presence".

Works for wildlife, too! The human eye's sensitivity to motion is also exploited in a standard piece of astronomical equipment, a "blink microscope." It's used for comparing photographs of the same area of sky at different times to find something (e.g., an asteroid) that's moved. Obviously comparing all the little dots one-by-one would be incredibly tedious and error-prone! The optics in the blink comparator (another name) show you first one photo and then the other, all aligned; then anything that's moved shows up as a point jumping back and forth between the views. I always thought it was an elegant solution--

Outstanding shot!
