Correction to yesterday's post- as has been pointed out, I did make a mistake- the picture of a fig parrot was not, inf act, a fig parrot. This, however, is.

Anyway, today's post covers geckoes! These very noisy lizards are generally found in the warmer parts of the world- they don't do very well in cold weather at all. Their name is taken from their unique and distinctive call, which- you guessed it- sounds kind of like they're going EEEK-OH repeatedly. It may sound cute, but when you're being bombarded by tons of them being very loud, it can get a little annoying.

Still, they're pretty cute animals! There are so many species that they display tremendous variation, and adult geckoes can, depending on what type they are, be anywhere from about an inch to 24 inches in lengh. If you ever see a gecko licking its eyeball, that's because it's keeping it clean and dust free, all the better to spot delicious food with.

This spider is pretty common down in the Southwestern US, but it's one of several red backed Phidippus spiders that look similar. Despite its colouring, which might remind you of the black widow, it's honestly pretty harmless to people and at about a centimeter or so in length, too small to do any real harm. They're definitely a distinctive and easy to spot spider, though.
