Most gecko species are insectivores and strictly rely on insects as a stable diet. Most gecko species will hunt in one of two ways. Ambush or stalking. Geckos have a very keen sense of smell and are able to pick up air particles with the scent of prey to locate a quick meal. They also have great eye sight. A gecko will usually require something to move and once the gecko has the prey item in their view, they will use their quick agile speed to move in on a insect. Other gecko species would prefer to stand completely still until an insect crosses its path and ambush it.
