Totally focused
by AxelLuther
A seöldom picture - a chameleon normally constantly moves his eyes in all directions to scan the surrounding - in this case, both eyes focus the prey to measure the distance and direction and the massive tongue is already "loaded" and ready to shoot out.
From this time on a photographer can only guess when to shoot the next photo - the catch itself is so fast that you can hardly see it - you see something flashing and at the same time, the insect is already in the mouth.

Hah it looks very odd with both eyes looking forwards. Good one!
Now to get a shot of the tongue halfway through striking...
