Hi Ann, It’s a small lizard, most likely a lacertid. I find a few wall lizards indoors every year in early spring before it gets warm outside. I suppose some of them wake from hibernation early and enter buildings in search of invertebrate prey and warmth. I don’t think they do any damage and will leave again if they are able to. They sometimes end up in our glue traps, which is a great pity. Their carcasses may attract dermestid beetles however.
