These guys are considered good luck in Hawaii, on the main land they seem to just sell car insurance. http://www.pbase.com/konascott/image/64194155/original He (she?) was peeking from behind our porch light. Everybody who lives here has a number of these guys that live with them. Scott >These guys are considered good luck in Hawaii, on the main land they >seem to just sell car insurance.

We hear a lot about how non-native species can damage the ecosystem in Hawaii when introduced. Just out of curiousity, anyone know if this gecko has caused trouble? > We hear a lot about how non-native species can damage the ecosystem in > Hawaii when introduced.

Preserving the ecosystem as it was is for creationists -- letting no change happen to God's magnificent creation. Funny how the 'ecosystem', 'planet', 'photography' has to be preserved at the point it was when one was 13 years old. Works for me, when I was 13 the world was perfect and it has been going downhill ever since. "Nicholas O.

You must be 70 years old too. When I was 13 the world was perfect, and has been going downhill ever since too. So, the world was perfect in 1948. > > We hear a lot about how non-native species can damage the ecosystem in > > Hawaii when introduced.

And Charles Darwin's evolution theories weren't exactly considering people picking up lizards from one island and flying them to another. > Funny how the 'ecosystem', 'planet', 'photography' has to > be preserved at the point it was when one was 13 years old. > Works for me, when I was 13 the world was perfect and it > has been going downhill ever since. Try googling "invasive species", "introduced species", and "guam brown tree snake" for a better understanding of why I asked my question. Anole. BTW, just a downright awesome pic! > These guys are considered good luck in Hawaii, on the main land they > seem to just sell car insurance.

Way to go Scott! > Helen Well I wondered if anyone would have my sense of humor, but just wondering if you save 15% on you auto insurance by switching to Geico? Oops! Never mind. I just saw the data under the photo. ken > These guys are considered good luck in Hawaii, on the main land they > seem to just sell car insurance.

Did he have an Australian accent? 2. What gear were you using (camera, film if any, lens, flash, etc.)? Thanks, ken I had a ton of them in my room on Moorea, but not one of them mentioned anything about car insurance. Maybe the licensing requirements are stricter there. > These guys are considered good luck in Hawaii, on the main land they > seem to just sell car insurance.
