Not every family of lizards gets to be immortalized in the annals of commerce, but the family gekkonidae, what you and I know as geckos, is just lucky like that. Eighteen species of the lucky lizards are on display in Geckos: Tails to Toepads at the National Geographic Museum. As the exhibit title suggests, there’s something interesting to be found in every inch of these technicolor creatures. But they are certainly more than the sum of their parts, and not just because they eat nasty bugs that would otherwise devour us all alive.
