Acrobat House Gecko - Animal India

An Asian house gecko or common house gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) hangs from the iron rod of a window by its two hind legs in an acrobatic manner, much like a gymnast, as it prepares to jump to the next rod in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on September 8, 2024. These geckos are nocturnal, hiding during the day and foraging for insects at night. They are often seen climbing the walls of houses and other buildings in search of insects attracted to porch lights, and are easily recognizable by their characteristic chirping sound.
