Unlike most geckos which are nocturnal and often cryptic in coloration, day geckos are brightly colored and generally active during the day.
There are more than 40 species of day geckos found on the East Coast of Africa and on various Indian Ocean islands. The highest diversity is found on Madagascar, where day geckos inhabit a wide range of tropical and sub-tropical habitats.
Day geckos have also been introduced in other parts of the world, including the Hawaiian islands and Florida, either intentionally for pest control or accidentally via the pet trade, where they are commonly kept.
Day geckos are voracious predators of small insects. Some species are also known to eat nectar, pollen, and soft fruit.

Galactic Icefall
Our home galaxy, The Milky Way and our neighbor, The Andromeda Galaxy, shines in the starry sky of the World Heritage site of Mount Siguniang of China. Being one of the biggest icefalls in the area ( height: 50m; width 20m), it gets frozen up from November to May, making itself the paradise for ice climbers country-wide. — Jeff Dai
