Hotpe, your probably correct about those coqui frogs coming from Puerto Rico?.
I remember the first coqui frog I ever heard was in the actual garden department at the new hilo Walmart? The gentleman who ran his nursery above keaau probably did not think he brought the frog to the big island either?. The First several times I ever got bit by the bigger fire ant here was in Ppark working at a nursery, also again in Kapoho working at an orchid nursery. I started seeing the little tiny fireant in coconut and palm trees in kapoho a decade ago. Nurseries use to be big business around these parts before the revival of papaya or dedication to steam and electricity. The fire ants, coquis, growing Albezia trees, and dying or dead Ohia forests may be here to stay unfortunately?.
