Gecko

My favorite bug catcher! These little guys are very camera shy. I ran around the house twice trying to dodge the mosquitoes and I finally found one that didn't run away too quickly.

Canon PowerShot A95
1/8s f/4.5 at 19.2mm with Flash full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

They would be a lot of fun to watch. And very hard to photography. Nice job of stalking him.

They are little eating machines. I read once that they can eat there weight in mosquitoes a day. Having watched them I belive it, so why do we have so many mosquitoes. I had a great day yesterday and you have a great first day back to work.

He doesn't look anything like the one on the Geico commercial. :) Love his clingy feet. And now I know what a real one is like.

Quick enough!!

I have a 'thing' about them as well... I see I am not alone... I think it is the feeling that something is watching you as you sleep. Or maybe that licking the eyes thing..... anyway, good capture, and they do good work!

For a camera shy bug, you done exceptional well. Great close up,even if that little guy freaks me out.

I had one that loved chasing down the crickets.
Guest 08-Aug-2005 05:36

Nice shot. Well worth the chase.

When they fall they do so with a splat...had one drop on my head once as I walked out the door. It created a great laugh for everyone. He's so colourful.

Nice shot of a cute little critter.

Great textures in this. Funny little beasts but they sure eat a lot of bugs.

Very cool close up

Nice shot, Elaine. It has 1 blue eye and 1 brown eye. My daughter-in-law is petrified of them.
