...as this guy was waiting for his girlfriend, and my wife put a dead small fly down for him.
The Cape dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus capensis; 'lygodactylus' = 'flexible fingers') is a species of dwarf gecko found in the woodlands and forests of central and southern Africa. It also occurs commonly in towns and cities and is sometimes kept as a pet. Length (snout to vent length) is 39 mm for males, 43 mm for females. Throat is stippled with grey or brown while the belly is cream coloured. The back is grey-brown with dark streak from snout to shoulder or beyond. Its tail is remarkable for having the underside covered in adhesive lamellae enabling its use as a fifth limb.
So, in the picture below, he jumped onto the fly and ate it.
Then his girlfriend appeared and he said; Good morning sweetheart, I tried to get a piece of meat for you, but it flew away.
He is a real smooth talker, and we saw him eating the fly.
She was not happy, and I think that she knew that he ate the fly.
He hugged her and said; *No, no, don't go, as I have something else in mind *
Come let's go for a walk so the others can also see your beauty, and she followed him.
The thing is when I downloaded the pictures from the camera on to the PC, I was wondering what kind of a story I can put to it, but then again, I know the wiles of males and the tricks that they can play in order to get their females to feel good. It is very similar in our human lives, as there are always smooth talking males around, and they are hardly ever filled with the truth. She knew that the gecko ate the fly, and yet she forgave him. Lol. Such is life.
Just a bit of humor on a Friday, and we hope that all will have a great weekend.
I hope you enjoyed the pictures and the story.
