Help Track Kamehameha Butterflyies - Carey - 02-18-2014
Received an email that the Pulelehua project is looking for any information on the presence of the Kamehameha Butterfly (our state insect) to help track the butterfly distribution anywhere on the Islands
If you would like to help document the distribution, simply go to their "submit a sighting":
http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/pulelehua/SubmitaSighting.aspx
for information on the Pulelehua Project, and pictures and ID info, go to: http://www.ctahr.hawaii.edu/pulelehua/Home.aspx

Thanks for the tip, Carey. We saw the story but didn't catch the website to submit a butterfly sighting. Participatory species salvation. We can all do this.

Also, can always plant Mamaki in your yard to provide the Kamehameha Butterfly with somewhere to lay their eggs.

An easier-to-remember web addres is http://kamehamehabutterfly.com (it actually redirects to the same one Carey posted).

Like Robguz said, wherever you see larger groups of Mamaki, you should see the Kam Butterflies... best place I know of is BirdPark on Mauna Loa side of HVNP...
here is a pic of one on a green Mamaki from last year...
