Description
The gold dust day gecko is native to Madagascar and small islands off the coast of East Africa. The entire Hawaiian population of gold dust day geckos stems from only eight lizards a University of Hawaiʻi student released near the Mānoa campus in 1974.
Maui began seeing gold dust day geckos creeping around Kīhei in the mid 90s. The lizards now populate landscaped yards throughout South and Central Maui and are becoming common Upcountry. While the colorful lizards seem harmless, they could be pressuring native ecosystems in ways not yet identified.
Original, one-of-a-kind gyotaku of a gold dust day gecko. Printed in the direct method of gyotaku onto Thai mulberry paper using an archival, water soluble, printmaking ink. It is PH neutral (acid free). The paper measures 9 inches x 6 inches and has a soft deckle edge.
