Lava Tree Park at night is straight out of the twilight zone. The screeching is unearthly. I saw a B & B for sale there. Before the coquis, Lava Tree Park was probably a tranquil and wonderful place to spend the night. No more. Any eradication efforts should be tried there. If you can kill them there, you can kill them anywhere.
Hawaii needs to get its act together on this. I would like to see at least one neighborhood coqui free, through a concerted effort of the neighbors. Of all the negatives about Puna, this is the one that spooked me the most.
All in all, Puna is a positive. But the coquis are not the happy part of Puna. How they are taken care of must be deliberated very carefully. But something must be done. With the Super-Ferry, they will be everywhere in no time. Once they hit Kauai, we might get some action.
