家守(ヤモリ) gecko

　今年も日没後にガラス窓の外にヤモリが現れるようになりました。生息個体数が減ってきて、千葉県他ではヤモリを準絶滅危惧種に指定しています。我が家に住み着いたヤモリは、元気に生き延びていたので一安心です。

　ヤモリは肉食です。まだ、我や蚊などを見かけませんので、蜘蛛でも食べているのでしょうか。

　Also this year, geckos began to appear outside the glass windows after sunset. The gecko population is declining, so Chiba Prefecture (east of Tokyo and faces the Pacific Ocean) and others have designated geckos as a near-threatened species. I am relieved to know that the geckos that took up residence in my house have survived. 

　Geckos are carnivorous. I haven't seen any moths or mosquitoes yet, so maybe they eat spiders instead.
