The Hornworm Tachinid Fly is considered a beneficial insect because it lays its eggs on caterpillars, which can decimate many varieties of plants. However, that also means it’s an enemy of Monarch Butterflies, which I don’t approve of, because it will do the same to their caterpillars.

In Kawaihae, there’s a very shiny Airstream trailer which houses Seabird Coffee. When I stopped to take photos of it, what caught my eye was that one rounded corner of the trailer did wonderful things to vehicles waiting for shipment elsewhere, my car (on the left), and a passing truck!
