Gold Dust and Crinum Blush

A gold dust day gecko (Phelsuma laticauda) explores the folds of a crinum lily bloom. Though native to Madagascar, these vibrant geckos have made themselves at home in Hawaiʻi — thriving in gardens, trees, and rooftops. Flashy, bold, and opportunistic, they’re pollinators, pest-controllers… and sometimes, fruit thieves.
