"Colors of Paradise" Gold Dust Day Gecko
The Gold Dust Day Gecko (Phelsuma laticauda) is a diurnal species of gecko. It lives in northern Madagascar, and on the Comoros, and has been introduced to Hawaii and other Pacific islands. It typically inhabits various kinds of trees and houses. It feeds on insects, smaller lizards and nectar. The Gold Dust Day Gecko is commonly known as the mascot of GEICO! (wikipedia.com)
I was actually shooting a flower, while on vacation in Kona, Hawaii, when I saw this beautiful little gecko jump from a leaf to the flower I was about to shoot, and then back onto a leaf again. This little one caught me totally by surprise, and although I tried to capture all its amazing moves, they came out a tad blurry. It did stay still long enough for me to take this shot, and I may be able to salvage another shot of its adorable face peeking out at me from the flower! I love the amazing colors and markings on these stunning geckos and think they are so cute! Hope you do too! :-)
