บทคัดย่อ :
I observed feeding by the Agamid lizard Calotes emma during the early part of the Thai monsoon season. During this period, one individual took advantage of swarming termite reproductives and fed nocturnally. Nocturnal activity has not been reported for this genus. The lizard s behavior may have resulted from conditions created by artificial lighting. Alternately, it may constitute a normal response to a rich annually-available food resource.
