hello /an/
recently I have seen multiple sightings of geckos and i have seen one cockroaches in my house. I was wondering if i should try mark and recapture these two populations to estimate their numbers as a little scientific project. Any ideas?

Trap the geckos with mealworms and the cockroaches with some waste. Use non-toxic paints/markings so you don't hurt them. You could also test the animal populations in your yard to see if they have any correlation to inside your house (ie are the geckos eating lady bugs and shit?)
For stationary animals/plants you can just use the meter square things (forget what they're called). You should post your results when you finish.

Also, take not of differing features in the different animals. Are all the geckos the same or are there some with, say, purple spots near their eyes? Idenitifying the species would be fun and help you understand your home ecosystem. Calculate the populations of the different species to see which gecko/cockroach is more prevalent.
