How many insects do the geckos eat? ** The number of insects the geckos eat is 5 x 6 = <<5*6=30>>30.
How many insects do the lizards eat? ** The number of insects the lizards eat is 3 x 12 = <<3*12=36>>36.
How many total insects were eaten? ** The total number of insects eaten is 30 + 36 = <<30+36=66>>66 insects.
