I was in Port Douglas for 6 years. I rented an old nursury house (just one big single room, no windows or doors in the openings) and made a workshop in the end of it by putting a wall across. I didnt bother to put any quad or architrave along the top of the wall sheets and so thin slivers of light would magnetise moths to them if I left the light on in the workshop. My bed was against the wall and so I happened to be lying there one night just looking up and was amused for hours watching geckos feed on moths by waiting just in the darkness beyond where the light would get to out of the small cracks and then just launch themselves into the light and of course a meal. Was fascinating ... only one draw back ... all those moths mean full stomachs and eventually .. well it all has to go somewhere
I shared that house with all manner of creatures
Anyway ... back to the thread ... GREAT collection of pictures Liz ... nice variety and all shots handsomely done.
A treat for sure.
..... harmless creatures, except when they fall on you
