Gecko, in Macro at Night
A macro capture of one little creature I just found recently at my home. These seem to come out only at night and are far different than the 2 or 3 other species at my home in Phoenix. The wikipedia article and other links from there were fascinating reading. Until I looked at other such geckos, I had thought this was a type of chameleon. The closest I could come with an ID is some sort of Helmeted gecko. The ID and tags are now "hemidactylus turcicus Mediterranian". Thanks to decapod dude, for an ID! The previous two images show other views in macro and in zoom. All had to be taken with flash, using the Minolta X1 DiMAGE.
