This is a Tockay Gecko or in Philippines we called it as “Tuko”. The second largest in the Gecko Family and with striking color spots on its body. It’s nocturnal and feed on most common insects. It is also very popular for having amazing sticky feet. They have loud vocalization sound which they use as a mating call. Some people make them as pets. But today, here in the Philippines and other Asian countries, this animal is threatened to be endangered soon because of the unlimited hunting. Government authorities say it is illegal but the hunters won’t stop due to its high enticing selling price of  foreign buyers or pet traders. They say that Chinese have tapped into the Tokay’s medicinal property specifically the Tokay’s enzyme that cures AIDS, cancer or other illnesses.

I’ve always seen this kind of caterpillar in our vegetable garden. Besides, I’ve caught this kind for few times too, during the preparation of cooking broccoli or cauliflower dish. I’ve always wanted to have the pictures of this tiny creepy creature because I actually find them a bit cute and I like its color with stripy white on its body and I like the way they crawl.

Now that Round Robin came up with another challenge: I’ve always wanted to photograph, I thought that this can be the best time to share these pictures.

Do you want to know what will be your luck on the future? Why don’t try to have some fortune cookies more especially during New Years’ time? I have seen a lot of fortune cookies in the form of metal, plastic or other trinket, but on last quarter of the year 2010; I had received lots of fortune cookies. Yes, they are real, crunchy and yummy! When you open it, there are certain messages saying about your luck. Well, I’m personally don’t believe with it. I just enjoyed the taste of these real cookies.
