Re: Biological pest control in action

Geckos and anoles are closely related, I think. They look a lot alike. And many persons of European background call our native anoles "geckos."

We had what we called 'geckos' in Hawai'i. A number of our friends freaked out at having lizards in the house. I figured anything that ate the bugs was worth having.

Zem, I encourage and protect the anoles in my yard. Must have hundreds of them. But also have no mosquitos and no cockroaches--maybe a Florida first. Much rather have a yard full of smallish lizards. And besides that, they're fun to watch, especially when they go through their mating rituals.
