Palmated gecko (Pachydactylus rangei)

Fluorescence in nature is more common among Invertebrates, but a few exceptions occur, like this Palmated gecko (Pachydactylus rangei) showing some grade of fluorescence in some parts of its body. I had the chance to witness this phenomenon while in the desert with my friend Dayne Braine from @thenaturalistcollection who showed me it while we were looking for scorpions around Swakopmund city. Sadly, the very site where we saw this amazing animal has been completely destroyed by the construction of a new (useless?) road by a Chinese mega company. The Namib is home to some unique forms of life and I think it should stay as it is: a harsh environment with a delicate soul. #namibia #pachydactylus #gecko #fluorescence #macro #night #blacklight #uv @ilcp_photographers (presso Swakopmund, Namibia) https://www.instagram.com/p/B89BAECKeKl/?igshid=1d8ko5uu8buzh
