Geckos are lizards that live in almost all warm or tropical climates. They are mainly nocturnal, having low-light colour vision that is 350 times as sensitive as that of humans. They can see ultraviolet light and they have the ability to see a sharp image on at least two different focal depths at the same time.
Geckos are welcomed indoors by most people because they prey on mosquitos and moths.
This friendly little gecko in Fiji seemed curious about the patrons in an outdoor restaurant. It hopped onto the glass and then onto the person holding it. The diners were delighted and fascinated, taking pictures and videos of the cute little creature. Lights attract geckos because they understand that their food is also attracted by lights. Eventually, it was escorted to the nearby plants and encouraged to hang out on the foliage.
