I came home one day to find a anole stuck in the bug trap left near my garage door. He was still alive and looking at me. I felt so bad that I put the sticky paper trap on a paper plate and ran it under water from the outside faucet. I thought the water would release him but it did not. He died. OK! Yes it sounds crazy, but his cute little face was looking up at me!

I have since found out that pouring cooking oil on the trap, would have dissolved the stick and released the trapped anole.
