Duplicate?... edit

The article of the subspecies is EXACTLY the same as the species, except for the taxobox. Why is this? What's going on here? Pililoni - AKA Little Blue Penguin (talk) 17:40, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Oh, I'm so stupid, it's a redirect. But, why does the species name redirect to the subspecies? If the species has only one subspecies, which's name is the same as the species, shouldn't this article be of the species? Pililoni - AKA Little Blue Penguin (talk) 17:43, 1 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

This page shuld say if it is an Invasive species to any of the islands it mentions but it doesn't so its not useful..

The Gold dust day gecko (Phelsuma laticauda) is a diurnal species of day gecko native to Madagascar and the Comoros, although it has been introduced to Hawaii and other Pacific islands. It grows to about 15–22 cm (6–9 in) in length and is bright green or yellowish green with rufous bars on the snout and head, and red bars on the lower back.Photo: Thierry Caro

Distribution edit

I suggest that the described range is fictitious. They are very common in the Tamatave area, and I would suspect the range is similar to:

There could be some better range delineation for this animal.
