The Caribbean is famous for its crazy Anolis radiation, of course, and they are indeed everywhere on the island. But thanks to inaturalist, I also knew that PR has a bunch of Sphaeros, tiny geckos that live in the leaf litter. And with a bit of poking around, I was delighted to find a number of them! They really stretched the capacity of my camera, and some I only managed to photgraph with my cellphone, but I really had a great time with them. Posted 8 months ago
