So I came home today after a nice rainy, rainy day and saw something move in my room as I went to turn on the lights.
Fearing it was something harmful, I quickly recognized the movement of the figure after a tiny second.
It was a lizard!
Had fun chasing the little thing out of my room, only to coincidentally stop it from moving enough to take...
...but using my bad phone camera. :v
Funny thing. As soon as I snapped the image (full silent//no shutter noise), and after watching the tiny thing breathe, I poked it with my index finger...and it ran into my jacket :I Guess I should've just gotten my hand out. But it was darn cold.
So I had a somewhat colder, somewhat rubbery lizard running up and down my forearm as I wiggled my jacket to get it out, only to move outside and displace the creature into a more natural habitat than my enclosed room.
Which was totally clean and such. Obviously. ._.
...Yeah my phone camera isn't one of the better ones, but yay phone camera!
Also tiny myth(?) around here says seeing a gecko/lizard = good luck...
Addendum: Got to love that [img height=x width=y] thing about resizing images without losing resolution.
I always figured those thing's natural habitat was inside rooms, considering I always have about 3-4 of them crawling my walls.
Yep, they're awesome. They eat all sorts of stupid bullshit, like mosquitoes and gnats, along with other unsavory sorts of crawlies. They're called
bihu, "wall tigers," in China. I've seen them all the way in Northern China, and Southern China has 'em by the boatloads (which is great considering Southern China also has flying mosquito menaces by the boatloads).
