"The Coqui Frog" or "the only senseful nightlife in Hilo"

Hilo nightlife is.... not present. Restaurants close at 9pm! Why this is is beyond me. Makes the city somewhat senseless - why would people gather if they cannot go out at night?

However there is one species that has a rhythm that more closely resembles the one of the average european, and here you can hear it:


took me some time to find the little noisemaker, but here he goes:

Eleutherodactylus coqui - so small and so loud! He produces the dominant sound you hear in Hilo at nighttime - a loud "cooo - qui!".

and of course, you name it, it is an invasive species - from puerto rico this time. At least this one was not imported on purpose.
