Coqui frogs are an invasive species with no predators in Hawai'i. In their native Puerto Rico, their numbers are kept at bay by scorpions, snakes, taratulas, etc. The issue with the Coqui isn't so much the noise they generate, but the IMPACT on the 'aina. All you folks who claim to find the sound so soothing and relaxing actually sound extremely self-centered. Why not take a step back and realize the untold impact these invasive species are causing to the very fragile ecosystem of Hawai'i nei? And add the fire ants, miconia, and other pests to the mix. If you really care about Ka Pae 'Aina o Hawai'i Nei, learn more at the Hawaiian Ecosystems at Risk project (HEAR) website: http://www.hear.org/
Wow...I had no idea how self-centered I was. I think I need a 12-Step Group. SCFA (Soothed by Coqui Frogs Anonymous!)
HPP...do you have any idea how silly you sound?
Anyone can cut and paste a quote from a website...but if your going to make an original point...at least try to make sense please?
