been trying to take a pic of this guy for years,
but geckos here are very, very shy ...
put out an old honey jar for ants to clean,
found this gecko dining on them ...
put the cam on top of opening & voila, at long last ...

notice on #3 the size of little ant tapinoma

Great Gecko picture. These live behind my mother's pictures. They are remarkably territorial and noisy. Sevendipity · 2007-07-11: 15:14

Here in the U.S. they use a gecko as a spokesman to sell insurance! Interesting picture - I've never seen a "real" one before. Thanks for the post! hypnotica · 2010-06-10: 18:55
