Lizard

[gerry4]

A lizard might not be the correct term for what i found on a shoe. It was about 2 or 3" a browny green colour. Wish i had taken a picture of it before i put it outside in a bush.

Anyone any idea what it was?

It has re-appeared on the wall not so here is a photo

Thanks folks for the help. Never thought they would live this far north but it seems they are also found in the Arctic. Learn something new every day
