October Adventure – Flora and Fauna

01 Nov

The colours of plants and creatures on Hawaii were stunningly beautiful, enhanced probably by the clear blue skies and sunshine. If you suffer from Scoliodentosaurophobia, a fear of lizards, I have put them all at the end so that you don’t have to scroll down that far and can miss them. The gallery at the end is not for lizard haters either. For the rest of you, I hope it’ll be fascinating!

Help with identifying any of them would be much welcomed.

Now for the Lizards/geckos.

I spent a fascinating few minutes watching the little gold dust day gecko, Phelsuma laticauda,changing its skin! Click on the first photo and scroll through to see the whole process and the detail of the skin and his tongue!

    It eats the skin at the end? Never knew that.

      In the winter I have chapped lips and admit to taking a nibble or two. 🙁

          This does call for more investigation. 🙁
          And before you accuse me of fouling up our hostess’s blog, she has already sent me a like. 🙂

            I know our hostess will not mind. There really is cause for further investigation into this

            Anymore life is just one big click after another.
