What’s this then?
Perhaps it hasn’t seen me.
Should I or shouldn’t I?
Here goes.
So far, so good.
Rats!
This gecko initially wasn’t quite sure what to make of such a large moth (that’s a 2×4 the moth is sitting on). But geckos are nothing if not optimists and dreams of glory spurred him on (well, I like to think so.). Ultimately a case of so near, and yet so far.

A great sequence. That gecko is so expressive.

It was both interesting and entertaining to watch the encounter and the photos were a bonus.

The moth is beautiful! And these are great photos. That moth is much bigger than he looked on the other post. Very cool 😎

Thanks Lisa. It helps to have something to show the scale and the 2×4 does that a bit better than the window screen.

those markings are incredible…you must have been very quiet trying to take the photos!

I wasn’t especially quiet. When a black witch moth settles it doesn’t tend to disturb easily and the geckos can be very bold.
