Guaripete
A name used in Margarita and along the riverbanks of Ciudad Bolivar for a small lizard known for fighting centipedes by ripping off their legs. The animal is characterized by a frequent up and down head movement, making it look like it is nodding yes (Margarita is a Venezuelan Caribbean island, while Ciudad Bolivar is a city on the Orinoco River).
Go ask guaripete if the sun came out is a common saying in Margarita. It refers to the way the animal moves its head as if it were signaling yes with its body language.
