Hello! I'm filling in for just a day. Nice to be back, and I've got- well, the usual amount of pictures, but animals that do think make very interesting subjects! Today's pictures showcase the common house gecko, or H. frenatus. This little reptile (definitely not an insect, it eats insects) originated in and around Southeast Asia and goes by a bunch of names there all based on its very distinctive call. Here, more people will likely be familiar with the term 'cicak' than they will with 'gecko'.

If you see one, do not panic! These guys are pretty much totally harmless to people and have no venom or anything like that, even if they can give you a shock when they pop out upside down from out of seemingly nowhere. Also, despite originating in Southeast Asia, they've spread all over the world and can be found in Australia, the Southern United States, as well as lots of Central and South America, Africa, most of Asia and the Middle East. Adaptable and hardly, these guys are.

Anyway, let's take a closer look at them. I think they're pretty cute, what about you?

And as for the spider! I was actually a little surprised that I hadn't featured this beauty before. It definitely deserves a spot here.

Introducing Chrysilla lauta! This elegant little gentleman has his glittering colours to attract females. You'll rarely see them around since their favourite habitats are the rain forests of north Southeast Asia all the way in to the south of China. It's not very big, but it sure packs a lot of looks into a tiny package.
