Pollinators in Hawaii include bats, bees, hummingbirds, butterflies, moths, wasps, flies, and beetles. These beneficial species are both beautiful to observe and critical to the preservation of the state's diverse ecosystem and agriculture. Plants are an important foundation of ecosystems, and nearly 90% of all flowering plants rely on pollinators to produce seeds. Pollinators, in fact, bring us one of every three bites of food we take and are responsible for 35% of the world's food crops. Hawaii Butterflies and Pollinators is a portable, laminated folding guide that includes illustrations and descriptions of 140 species and a back-panel map featuring some of the state's top nature viewing hot spots. It is a handy field reference and the perfect take-along guide for visitors and nature enthusiasts of all ages. Hawaiian names are included where available.
