[QUOTE="Michie, post: 77633835, member: 628"] In India’s remote Western Ghats, a gorgeous blue and yellow gecko species has been named in honor of Vincent Van Gogh, whose painting [I]Starry Night, [/I]was the first thing that entered Ishan Agarwal’s mind when he saw it. Found during one of many expeditions into these underdeveloped, underexplored mountains running parallel to India’s western coastline, it enriches both the eyes and the scientific literature. Belonging to the genus [I]Cnemapsis, [/I]it is one of 2,300 members worldwide and over one hundred in India alone. Not so long ago, however, there were only a few dozen. “We have incredibly diverse fauna, but we know little about it,” Agarwal [URL='https://www.nationalgeographic.com/animals/article/van-gogh-gecko-new-species-india']told Nat Geo[/URL] of the Western Ghats, in which he has spent 12,400 hours exploring. [I]Cnemapsis vangoghi [/I]was found during one such exploration, after the flash of indigo and mustard yellow which caught Agarawl’s eye. Continued below.
