I found this little fellow in the sands of the Namibian desert, one of the most arid places on

earth. They are extremely well adapted. They dig themself in the sand and wait for insects

and beatles to pass by. If you look at their feet, they have evolved webs between their digits

in order to get a better grasp in the sand. They do not have eyelids to moist their eyes,

instead they leak their eyes with their tongue several times an hour to keep them moisted

(eye wiper). They are kind of cute too!.

Excelent catch, never seen one before!

Love the way the leg has the same grain and texture as the sand. What an adaptation. I've been to the Etosha Pan and have always regretted that I didn't also to to the desert of Namibia.

A great composition with the line of the body coming from the blurred background to the foreground and the smaller diagonal of the two feet. All this adds to a great subject

Wow! Very sharp focal point! I love geckos! Your sense of composition has again paid of. Bravo!
