HONOLULU – New populations of two species of endangered Hawaiian moth and damselfly have been discovered on islands where those species had been thought to no longer exist. They are the Blackburn’s sphinx moth (Manduca blackburni) and the pinapinao, or Hawaiian damselfly (Megalagrion nesiotes).
The discoveries by staff at the DLNR Division of Forestry and Wildlife (DOFAW) bring hope for the continued existence and recovery of these endangered species.
