Peacock Day Gecko
Phelsuma quadriocellata
''Phelsuma quadriocellata'' is a species of gecko known by the common name peacock day gecko. It is endemic to Madagascar, where it is a common to abundant, widespread reptile.
This gecko lives in many types of low- to mid-elevation habitat types in Madagascar, including forests and areas with human activity such as cultivated land and human habitation. It is sometimes associated with ''Pandanus'' species.
This is likely a species complex. It is currently divided into three subspecies, ''P. q. quadriocellata'', ''P. q. lepida'', and ''P. q. bimaculata''. A fourth subspecies was recently elevated to species status and is now named ''Phelsuma parva''.
