Phelsuma - live more than 20 years in captivity. Day geckos feed on various kinds of insects and other invertebrates. They also like to eat nectar, pollen and soft, ripe and sweet fruits such as bananas. Two Phelsuma species (Phelsuma gigas and Phelsuma edwardnewtoni) are now considered to be extinct, probably because of destruction of their environment by human settlers and their domestic animals. Many day gecko species are endangered today because more and more of their habitat, such as (rain) forest, is being destroyed on Madagascar and other islands. Classification of the genus Phelsuma GRAY 1825 The genus Phelsuma was first described by the British zoologist John Edward Gray in 1825 and named after the Dutch physician Murk van Phelsum.
