Sweet, But Risky 2 - Oahu, Hawaii

This is not something you see everyday. The photo captures a sure-footed and confident gold dust gecko lapping up the nectar of a carnivorous pitcher plant. ;) I do not know if the little reptile could extract itself should it fall into the trap, but the hungry gecko showed no fear. If you look closely, you can see that this gold dust gecko has had some close calls because it has grown a new tail. I came across this interesting moment during a visit to the splendid Foster Garden. The photo was taken in April 2024, with my trusty Olympus digital camera. Stay well.

 

P.S. I am very busy in the garden and am slowly catching up.
