I found this flowering banana and from previous experience I knew that the little Gold Dust Day Geckos like to feed on the nectar from the flowers. So, I waited and it wasn't very long before some of them showed up. This one didn't spook when I moved in close, about 4 feet. It was getting close to sunset. The evening sun put a warm glow on the bananas & gecko.
I photographed this while on vacation in Kona, Hawaii.
Took this on the Hilo side of the Big Island. The Gold Dust Day Geckos really like the nectar they can lick off the flowering parts of the banana blossoms.
Best viewed large.
The little guy was on our bathroom mirror, admiring himself.

I was walking through our living room when I felt something drop on my forearm. I looked down to see this little one.
it didn't know that I was on the other side. The first hint that I was there was when it heard the camera beep and it was gone in an instant as soon as the camera clicked.
These beautiful little reptiles were easily seen ascending and descending the trunks and limbs of trees in Oahu.

I can see why a certain corporation chose this species as its mascot. It doesn't get much cuter! Nonnative.
Gold Dust Day Geckos are very addicting to shoot. Such amazing little lizards. Unfortunately, they are one of many invasive species on the Hawaiian islands.

Geckos play a role in the Hawaiian ecosystem as pest controllers, eating insects. They are also a part of Hawaiian culture and folklore, with some stories even portraying them as sacred creatures.
