This week’s Sunday Stills challenge theme is ‘Summer insects.’ See more responses here.
In addition to their vital roles in the world, insects are also food for other creatures. Here, a House Gecko snags a good-sized moth.
I think this Monarch Butterfly is one of the pale morphs that can be found on the island. They’re also on Oahu, while Kauai has a brown morph.
This moth, also known as the dot-lined angle moth, is native from the southern U.S. down to northern Argentina. It was first noted in Hawaii in 1970 and has since spread across the Pacific all the way to Malaysia and Hong Kong.

This Cabbage Butterfly was perfectly happy foraging on an Ilima flower.
’Ilima flowers (Sida fallax) are native to Hawaii as well as other Pacific islands and China. In Hawaii the flowers are used in leis and highly regarded in Hawaiian culture. Butterflies like them a lot too.
