...OMG ecosystem disruption!!! i just walked past the pineapple and a gold dust day gecko has usurped the anole's spot!! (the geckos are larger & meatier than the anoles, so it probably chased the other one away.)

i wonder if the anole will return or if the gecko will now be the leaf sitter?! things are so dramatic in nature.

#TinyEcosystems : trying out this new tag. feel free to share your own fav tiny ecosystems!

here's mine for today: this green anole lizard sits on this exact pineapple leaf basically every day. it hunts lil flies that are attracted to a purple basil plant (whose little flowers are in the foreground).

there's a tiny circle of life b/w 1 leaf of a pineapple, 1 lizard, little flies, & 1 basil plant. 🤯
