User's notes
The gecko was found dead, attached to a wall by its toe pads as reported in sighting 4353412. This follow up sighting provides additional close up details of the gecko at 3X and 5X magnification. The third and fourth images show a close-up of the toe pads which contain thousands of microscopic hairs that interact with surface molecules via Van de Waals Forces, allowing the gecko to adhere to most surfaces. The final image is a close-up of the body scales. Thanks to Marcus Leach for the initial sighting.
