the frilled lizard is an omnivorous animal and the frilled lizard will therefore eat almost anything it can find. Despite this though, the frilled lizard will eat meat whenever possible as it hunts a variety of insects, spiders, rodents and small reptiles. In the trees they find spiders, cicadas, beetles etc., and on the ground more of the same plus ants and even other small lizards. Their eye sight is excellent and they are very fast. Frilled-neck lizards are sit-and-wait predators, which is an approach that helps them conserve energy. They chose trees where they can survey the area for food, before racing down to nab it. If they spot something from a tree they drop to the ground, grab it and are back up on the tree within seconds.
