It’s quite simple really. The Gecko just helped the insect save a load of money on it’s car insurance.
The insect, being grateful and all, is happy to offer the Gecko a treat.

I thought geckos eat bugs. Friends of mine who used to live in a tropical climate would place geckos strategically on window and door screens so they could snap up insects. What gives with these two species?

As long as it was consensual and no money changed hands, we should leave them to their business.

I thought geckos eat bugs. So do ants. Yet aphids have convinced them to protect them in exchange for honeydew.
It's a strange world...

groveling gecko = dependent democratic voter
sap-sucking insect = democratic politician

Yeah, tonight I saw one beg an Otter for clams. Geckos love clams.

I'm a sap for stories like this.

What's so strange about that? Cows have similiarly convinced humans of the same!

Sounds like blackmail or a Gecko protection racket.

My company had one of those 7-8lb anchors, back in the mid-80s. Good for 30mins before needing a recharge. No reception in the tunnels on ConRail or Amtrack. I got several turns using it and impressing everyone I called, while in transit to/from work in NYC.
Can’t remember who-the-heck made it; senior moment...
