Field Notes

Description:

Almost transluscent in colour and its tail has bands on it. Large eyes and large padded toes. 12 - 15 cm. It moves very fast.

Habitat:

Common around house lights and in warm areas.

Notes:

This little guy ran all over our bathroom. When we tried to take a picture, it made a run for it ... running with ease upside down against the ceiling.
