Abstract
Only a very few of the native insects of the Hawaiian Islands have become injurious to cultivated crops or plants. The insect pests occurring there are in most cases foreign insects that have arrived through the channels of commerce. The promiscuous importation of fruits, seeds, trees, plants, etc., from all parts of the world has been the chief way by which the numerous insect pests have gained access to these islands. One has but to observe the profusion and variety of trees, shrubs, and plants in the public parks and private grounds of Honolulu to realize to what extent this has been carried on, for in all of this there is only an occasional native tree or plant to be seen.
