PTed, my part of feinting. I do appreciate you trying to straiten out the confusion surrounding the wekiu bugs existence. Hard to imagine a flightless bug like the wekiu just FLEW to other cones when they were disturbed by the current OBSERVATORIES practices. The wekiu bug may be in a dire situation due to the disruption of their environment, so they may be displaced and trying to live in other places(under rocks)now that the astronomers have moved in?.
The TMT has these giant lenses that need protection from the harsh environment atop maunakea, so they want to build a 180 foot high dome to protect this non-living technology from the often damaging high winds. The wekiu bug that was apparently thriving atop maunakea before this TMT project(removed from the possible endangered list in 2011), now must fend for itself looking for new cover from the harsh climate( possibly under the sacred rocks now).
Sure wish rules or laws were put in place to protect maunakeas fragile or rare environment. That way these scopes would have to build around these cones(home to the wekiu bug) they would have to not change the landscape as much. Maybe even have rules or laws that would have these telescope corporations return the used or abused aina back to its original state. If the telescopes can't tend to their leased aina as they preach or promise then don't mislead the public please.
