This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Summer insects.’ See more responses here.
In addition to their vital roles in the world, insects are also food for other creatures. Here, a House Gecko snags a good-sized moth.

It’s a good spot to take photos, especially if I have cleaned the window recently!

I understand that. We had the same situation we were living in Illinois, with a big picture window in the living room and a butterfly bush just on the other side.

Gah, I can almost hear the crunch! I also could see myself employing a house gecko, because I don’t like moths or other bugs in my house at all! Visiting from Sunday Stills

In Hawaii you have to accept bugs in the house. It’s almost impossible to keep them out.
