Nature has a way of disguising things but if you increase your powers of observation you may see things in a different way. You might even see a few things you've been missing.

Yep, colors don't matter that much if the object is still. Looking for the stray outline that seems out of place should be focused on harder, suprisingly how quickly the object will suddenly 'Pop Out', especially when that ear flicker suddenly appears.
Optics really helps this out, but a lot of this is concentration, pure and simple.
You are concentrating too hard. Just take a casual glance and shift your focus slightly and you will see the lizard or you can look at the pic in Part 2.
An expedient oxygen absorber for a 5 gallon storage container can be made by placing a golf ball size piece of steel wool and a tablespoon of salt inside a paper napkin and placing it in the container. The salt will absorb the residual moisture and the steel wool will naturally absorb the oxygen.

Make Your Own Electrolyte Beverage (Gatorade, Pedialyte, etc.)
To one quart of water add 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon of salt, and 8 teaspoons of granulated sugar. Thoroughly mix all ingredients together.
This will replace electrolytes lost by the body due to dehydration caused by diarrhea, vomiting, excessive sweating, etc. A package of Kool-Aid, Crystal Light, etc. may be added to enhance the flavor and color.

Sometimes you can look too hard and not see anything. the stray movement will often be the only sign.
Thanks anon!

It's a young Texas spiny lizard. older ones tend to be a darker grey color and are quite a bit larger.
Thanks.

Crap! I give up. What am I missing in that picture??
