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.
