Hendrickson 1950 Cnemidophorus lemniscatus Nov. 1 5 km. N. VillarrĂ­a, 1400 ft., Huila, Colombia, S.A. them stop suddenly and - with the body motionless - "flutter" one fore paw rapidly. Neither the stimulus nor the effect of this is apparent to me. Dr. Stollins has suggested that it might "sting" insects. Nov. 2 When fairly cold, the "hard flutter" is slowed down to a rather slow "waving", but consistently occurs, nevertheless. Perico today snared a female with a male gripping her by the back skin in the lumbar region behind the forelimbs. The male did not release his grip, and he carried them to camp and arrived (about 1 minute later) with them still together, them male hanging onto the snared female with a "bulldog" grip.
