ʻApapane i ka ʻŌhiʻa

ʻApapane i ka ʻŌhiʻa

ʻApapane in the ʻōhiʻa

ʻApapane travel the upper canopy in small quick flocks, following whichever ʻōhiʻa is blooming. It is said that picking a lehua blossom calls the rain — and watching an ʻapapane work the flowers, you can see why nobody wanted to interrupt.
