house gecko
Tropical ceiling dweller
A house gecko is a small tropical lizard commonly found in and around human dwellings, where it hunts insects attracted to lights.
These geckos are welcomed in many cultures as natural pest control.
Several species go by this name, most notably the common house gecko native to Southeast Asia but now widespread in warm regions worldwide.
