Silhouette Chameleon Catching Cricket at Maputo Riverbank

by Beverly Spencer

A dark chameleon hangs from a thin branch against the deep indigo sky of a Maputo riverbank after sunset. The animal extends a long, pale tongue that pierces the dim light to snag a cricket mid-air. Fine droplets of water and kicked-up grit from the rainy season hang suspended around the strike zone, catching the faint residual glow. Turf spray drifts in the foreground, blurring the lower edge of the frame where the muddy bank meets the water. The chameleon's eye swivels with absolute stillness, locked on the prey. One grain of sand rests on the rough bark beneath the reptile's gripping claws.
