DECEPTION: FORMULA FOR SURVIVAL

At the edge of a hayfield i was observing a Lizard of the same color, when a Grasshopper hopped over, failing to see the lizard it ended up as lunch. Then, i spotted a cat walk to the scene, it walked ambling along towards the lizard.

 the lizard alerted by the movement slowly withdrew back into the hay and reamined there. I froze observing with keen interest (and i guess so was the lizard too) when the cat started up towards its direction. The cat finally left the scene without seeing the lizard and i know "wow! that was damn close" was what the lizard will probably have said.

 on that day at the scene i had seen two aspects of deception-CAMOUFLAGE TO HELP CATCH PREY AND CAMOUFLAGE TO ESCAPE CAPTURE

Love how you ended the piece. Without the camouflage the cat would of indeed have seen it and probably would have eaten it too lol. I Like the descriptions in this short storie, i can only say one thing....that lizard was fricken lucky lol Well done.
