The gecko awaited on a branch for a tasty treat to fly by. BEKSAI, INDONESIA: THIS ADORABLE gecko looked like it was wearing a crown when a one-inch mantis landed on its one image, the day gecko sat on top of a branch and waited for a tasty treat to fly by as it stuck out its tongue in readiness to pounce. Another image captured the adorable moment that the six-inch gecko smiled with glee as an orchid mantis flew over and sat on top of the gecko?s head - resembling a crown. The cute snaps were shot by photographer Dzul Dzulfikri (48) from Beksai, Indonesia, who witnessed the reptile and insect get acquainted in his back garden from just 11-inches away. The friendly day gecko - a pet of Dzul?s friend - sat calmly whilst the mantis stood on its head. Dzul used a Canon 5D MK IV camera and a Canon 100mm macro L series lens and shared these images on his Instagram, The day gecko is a species native to Mauritius and Madagascar and is usually active in daylight. The orchid mantis is native to southeast Asia and can grow up to two-and-a-half inches long. @dzulfikri72
