Explore gecko

The first time I saw the gecko with my own eyes was when I traveled to Macau in the summer of 20 1 1. In that five-star hotel that is not luxurious. As soon as we entered the room, we habitually looked at the environment of the room and saw a big gecko clinging to the corner at the top of the spacious room, which made me tremble. It's just that I heard that gecko is poisonous. The hotel management also rushed to handle it and helped me change rooms. In order to show the service attitude of the hotel, my room was specially upgraded from ordinary to executive suite. This is the first time I have seen a gecko with my own eyes.

This time in the villa, I got up in the middle of the night and opened the door to see a little gecko jumping, and then on the floor? Crawl quickly on the floor. I was surprised at first because it was not the first time I met her. In the middle of the night, you can't wake everyone. Considering that the gecko is poisonous and can't be allowed to do anything indoors, I have to take out the paper in my room and "fight" the gecko alone. I covered it with thick paper and dared not handle it with my hands, so I stepped on it with my feet. I didn't expect it to have a particularly strong vitality and continue to crawl quickly. At this time, I also saw a tiny thing wriggling and jumping, like a "gecko" just coming out of the womb. I'm really scared! However, I don't know where I got the courage. I continued to fight them. It took me a long time. I used all my hands and feet. I see. It feels like eliminating a catastrophe for mankind. The whole process was very horrible and painful. After the treatment, I was too tired to sleep. This is a very unusual night in my life.

I am thinking that life is not only a climbing process, but also a thrilling process. Why do things that are unexpected every day suddenly happen at ordinary times and are unprepared? I am timid, but I am not afraid. Maybe this is God's purpose to test me?

Out of curiosity, I turned on my mobile phone and explored the gecko. It turns out that geckos lie down during the day and come out at night. Lurking in hidden places such as cracks in the wall, under the eaves of tiles and behind cabinets during the day, and coming out at night. On summer and autumn nights, geckos often appear on walls, eaves or telephone poles illuminated by lights, preying on mosquitoes, flies, moths, spiders and other beneficial and harmless animals.

More interestingly, when the gecko is frightened or caught, as long as it touches it, its tail will be broken immediately, and the gecko will take the opportunity to escape. This phenomenon is called "self-cutting" in zoology, also known as "self-cutting", "self-mutilation" and "self-cutting". Because the broken tail has many nerves, after it leaves the body, the nerves don't lose their function immediately, so it still swings, playing a scary role, and sometimes it can achieve the purpose of self-defense. It is rumored that the gecko will get into people's ears if its tail is broken, which is absolutely impossible. Because most of the broken tail falls to the ground, it will swing even if it is left on the wall, but it has no ability to move directionally, so it will not get into people's ears. After a gecko breaks a tail, it will not affect its normal life. Before long, the gecko's tail will regenerate.

In fact, the moral of gecko is very good, also called guarding the palace. In the traditional culture of China, it is called Tianlong, and it is good at climbing over eaves and walls. People regard it as the mascot of exorcism and prosperous families. Gecko has a homonym of happiness, which is often matched with gourd in jade articles and engraved on the side of gourd, meaning happiness; Gecko has tenacious vitality, is not afraid of hardship, regards bumps as smooth roads, is patient and persistent, and is good at making opportunities and seizing them.

Well, I met a gecko, which is also fate!
