Need some perspective to gauge the size of the reptile clambering over what appear to be boulders?
Without a frame of reference this Cape Dwarf Gecko (Lygodactylus capensis) in our garden could be enormous.
In the picture below the fly provides some scale and perspective on how small this diurnal gecko actually is and shows that the boulders are in fact mere pebbles.

I knew the gecko wasn’t big but I certainly did not expect it to be so tiny! Nice example of scale

Well, of course it could be that the fly is in fact a gigantic species native to your back garden! 😉 Seriously, Carol, stunning photographs as ever. And both creatures are so beautiful.

I had not considered the possibility of a giant fly until now 😊
