Mjusi-kafiri mchana

**Mijusi-kafiri mchana** ni mijusi wa jenasi *Phelsuma* katika familia Gekkonidae. Kinyume na spishi nyingine za mijusi-kafiri, ambazo hukiakia usiku, spishi hizi hukiakia mchana. Katika Unguja na Pemba spishi za huko huitwa **mijusi wa mnazi** pia, kwa sababu wanatokea kwa majani ya minazi.

Takriban mijusi wote wa jenasi hii wana rangi ya majani. Wengine ni buluu, kijivu au kahawia. Mara nyingi wana madoa na/au milia mekundu, buluu, njano au meusi.

Spishi nyingi ni ndogo kuliko mijusi-kafiri wengine, k.m. chini ya sm 15. Ile ndogo kabisa ni mjusi-kafiri mchana kibete, ambaye inafika sm 7.1 tu. Spishi nyingine zinafika sm 30 na mjusi-kafiri mkubwa wa Rodrigues, ambaye amekwisha sasa, alikuwa na urefu wa hadi sm 40.

Mijusi hawa hula wadudu, vertebrata wengine, mbochi, mbelewele na matunda mororo.
