New Caledonian Giant Gecko (Rhacodactylus leachianus)Observer
christianlangnerDescription
The longhorn beetle was attracted
by the beam of the headlight and it was difficult to hold him away from the gecko to get "pure" gecko shot (picture 3)...
keep also attention to the impressive black fronds of the NC endemic fern Ptisana attenuata on which one of the leachianus is sitting on (pictures 2 & 3)
note also the gecko mites (Geckobia) in 5 and the adhesion scales of the original tail-tip in pic 4

Common Leopard Gecko (Eublepharis macularius)Observer
prakritDescription
Seeing a wild leopard gecko was extremely cool!
Identified as E. macularius as there are too many bands for E. fuscus (which should have two) and E. satpuraensis (which should have three).

Northern Flicker In A Snow Storm
I was thrilled to look out my window & see that my new yard bird was perched in my crepe myrtle close to me. She is beautiful & I got a good look at the yellow on the underside of her tail. The snow was coming down fairly heavy at this point.

Remembering Snowmageddon 2021
A year ago we had a weather event that began with snow and ice and dangerously low temps. Ended up with many, including myself, losing power for hours & enduring scary survival conditions. I'm still a bit traumatized. But there were some good things that came with the storm. Like this visit from a northern flicker. First one ever in my yard. So, trying to remember and focus on the beauty and positive things from a year ago.

I enjoyed spending 15 minutes or so with this foraging White-lined Sphinx Moth in my yard a while ago. Many folks mistake these sphinx moths for hummingbirds.

Why is it color green? Update, looked for hours multiple days after the 13th of August in Oak Openings with no luck, as I figured. Sent photos to some universities trying to gain some knowledge.
