We all know lizards more or less. This is an animal that can be seen in trees and even in various places in people's houses. During the day, Eid movement is less, but at night their movement increases a little. However, they can be seen a little more in people's houses, especially at night. House lizards are a strange yet beneficial animal. With their small body, smooth skin and flexible tail, they can run effortlessly on the walls. Their light brown or gray colored spots act as a cover for their privacy. They become active as soon as dusk falls, sitting quietly on the walls or in the corners of the ceiling and waiting for prey. Once they see prey, they jump with lightning speed and catch mosquitoes, flies or small insects. I have been used to seeing such things since I was a child. Those whose homes do not see such things much, but they look more careful about such things. But I have noticed that in villages where they are more abundant, they are less appreciated. Their small feet and sticky fingers are like perfect tools in finding food. They silently act as guards to keep insects out of people's homes. Sometimes, their ability to distract their enemies by cutting off their tails is a great testament to their intelligence. However, whatever this intelligence is, sometimes it is also harmful to humans who find it in their food. This calm-natured animal is a natural friend of the house, whose presence makes our lives a little more comfortable without many people knowing it. If we can see them as friends, then it is good. If we don't think they are harming us by getting into our food and spoiling it, then it is better to be a little vigilant about this. Because these lizards can often cause a lot of harm to those in homes where there are small children. Maybe their presence is less in homes and the harm of Eid is less. But we have noticed that their presence is much more in those places where people live in tin houses. There is one thing that is not good for anything in excess. Excess of Eid can also be a big cause of harm. However, in any case, we have to maintain this relationship with these things by understanding the place. They cannot be harmed unnecessarily.
