Land of

As promised, a slew of land creatures I spotted and documented on my recent travels on Taveuni and Malolo islands.






The spotted butterfly, glimpsed on the Lavena Coastal walk.









Spiders hung from webs and trees in Lavena.



















I guess this pig was a wandered, thus the leash.




















a beach beetle with day-glo shell



















This fierce moth loved me--wouldn't leave me alone.












And finally a little glimpse of home, only larger--a super-sized Fijian Gecko
