This 1880s engraving illustrates a poem by Leonie Meyerhof (1858 – 1933), Im Waldesdom, or, In the forest Cathedral.

The sunbeams are called crepuscular rays *by people who like long words). The roof of the forest is perhaps compared to the vaulted ceiling of a Gothic cathedral.

The #leopardgecko, #Eublepharis #macularius (#Eublepharidae), is native to #steppe landscapes of #Pakistan, northern India, and eastern Afghanistan. As a #crepuscular/nocturnal #lizard, it primarily hunts medium-sized arthropods. These popular pets, considered #intelligent, can, according to E. Landová et al. (2025), #learn/#remember the path in a Morris #WaterMazeTask.
