Froggattii

Froggattii is a taxonomic epithet that can refer to several different species, primarily within the animal kingdom. The most common association is with *Diplodactylus froggattii*, a species of gecko found in Australia. This gecko is characterized by its smooth skin and nocturnal habits, typically inhabiting rocky outcrops and arid regions.

Another notable use of froggattii is in the scientific name of the golden-tailed gecko, *Strophurus froggattii*. This species is also native to Australia and is known for its defensive mechanism of flicking sticky fluid from its tail.

In the realm of insects, the name froggattii has been applied to *Phyllocnistis froggattii*, a leaf-mining moth. This moth's larvae feed on the leaves of various eucalyptus species, causing characteristic mining patterns.

The epithet "froggattii" is often used to honor entomologist Walter Wilson Froggatt, who made significant contributions to the study of Australian insects and other invertebrates. Therefore, species bearing this name are usually found in Australia, reflecting Froggatt's extensive fieldwork in the region. Further research into specific contexts is necessary to determine which organism is being referred to by "froggattii" without additional taxonomic information.
