Ua hele wāwae paha ʻoe a puni kou māla a i ʻole kou pā hale a ʻike i kahi mea liʻiliʻi nani, ʻulaʻula ʻālohilohi, a palupalu hoʻi? Ua like ia me kahi ʻanuʻu nui a huluhulu. Makaʻu kekahi poʻe ke ʻike lākou i kēia mea ola, a he mea weliweli iki kona inoa. 'ʻAnuʻu Pepehi Kau'. No laila i kēia lā, e kamaʻilio kākou e pili ana i ke ʻano maoli o kēia mea ola, he mea weliweli anei ia e like me kona inoa e hōʻike nei, a he aha ka mea e hana ai inā nahu ia.
ʻO wai maoli kēia ʻAne Pepehi Pipi?
ʻO ka mea mua e ʻōlelo ai, ʻoiai aia ka huaʻōlelo 'anu' i loko o ka inoa o kēia holoholona, ʻaʻole ia he anu. A e like me ka inoa e hōʻike nei, 'Cow Killer', ʻaʻole ia e pepehi i nā bipi. No laila, ʻo wai kēia?
I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, he nalo kēia. ʻAʻohe ʻēheu o ka wahine, no laila ke hele ʻo ia ma ka honua, ua like ʻo ia me kahi ʻanuʻu nui a huluhulu. Ua kapa ʻia ʻo ia e kekahi poʻe ʻo 'Velvet Ant' ma muli o kona ʻano velvet. No nā ʻanuʻu, nā nalo, a me nā pi nā mea a pau i ka papa ʻepekema hoʻokahi. Kapa mākou iā ia he '(Hymenoptera)'.
ʻO kekahi hiʻohiʻona kū hoʻokahi o kēia mau holoholona, ʻo ia ke ʻano like ʻole o ke kāne a me ka wahine kekahi i kekahi. Ma ke ʻano ʻepekema, ua kapa ʻia kēia he "sexually dimorphic". He ʻokoʻa loa lākou a manaʻo kekahi poʻe he ʻelua ʻano holoholona like ʻole lākou.
E nānā kākou i ka ʻokoʻa.
| ʻAno | Wahine | Kāne |
|---|---|---|
| Nā ʻēheu | ʻAʻole. Ke hele nei ʻo ia ma ka honua. | He ʻēheu ʻeleʻele a ʻeleʻele paha kona. |
| Ka nui | ʻO ka maʻamau ma kahi o 3/4 ʻīniha ka lōʻihi. | ʻOi aku paha ka nui o ke kāne ma mua o ka wahine. |
| helehelena | Ua uhi ʻia ke kino ʻeleʻele me ka huluhulu ʻulaʻula ʻōlinolino a ʻalani paha. | ʻOiai he like ko lākou mau ʻano kala, hāʻawi ko lākou mau ʻēheu iā lākou i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa. |
ʻAʻole e like me nā nalo a me nā ʻanuʻu ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole noho kēia mau mea i nā kolone a kūkulu pūnana paha. He mau mea noho kaʻawale lākou. ʻO ka maʻamau, ola nā mākua ma ka inu ʻana i ka nectar mai nā pua.
He mea weliweli maoli anei kēia holoholona iā kākou?
ʻOiai paha he mea weliweli ke kani ʻana o ka inoa, e like me ka mea i ʻōlelo ʻia ma mua, ʻaʻole hiki i kēia holoholona ke pepehi i ka bipi wahine. Eia naʻe, ʻaʻole ia he manaʻo ua hala ʻole lākou. He nui nā ala a lākou e pale aku ai iā lākou iho.
ʻIke ʻoe i ke kala ʻulaʻula ʻālohilohi ma ko lākou kino. ʻAʻole ia he nani wale nō. He ʻōlelo aʻo ia. I loko o ke aupuni holoholona, ua kapa ʻia kēia he "aposematic coloration." He hōʻailona ia i nā mea ʻaihue, i nā holoholona makemake e ʻai iā lākou, me ka ʻōlelo ʻana, "He mea weliweli wau, mai hoʻokokoke mai iaʻu."
Ma waho aʻe o kēlā, loaʻa iā lākou nā hana palekana ʻē aʻe.
| ʻŌnaehana palekana | Wehewehena |
|---|---|
| Iwi ikaika | He ikaika loa ka ʻāpana o waho (exoskeleton) e uhi ana i ko lākou kino. |
| Ke hoʻopuka nei i kahi ʻala pilau | Ke hoʻoweliweli ʻia, hoʻopuka ia i kahi ʻala ʻoluʻolu ʻole. |
| Ke hana nei i kahi leo | Hoʻopuka lākou i kahi leo ʻūlū ma ke hamo ʻana i ko lākou mau wāwae e hoʻomaopopo aku kekahi i kekahi. |
E aʻo e pili ana i ke nahu!
ʻO ka wahine ʻēheu ʻole ka mea kaua nui e pale aku ai iā ia iho. ʻO ia ko lākou niho. E like me nā nalo ʻē aʻe, hiki i kēia mau mea ke ʻeha loa.
Wahi a kahi papa kuhikuhi ʻeha i hoʻomohala ʻia e kahi entomologist, ua hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka ʻeha o ka nahu ʻana o kēia holoholona ʻo ia kekahi o nā pae ʻeha kiʻekiʻe loa. ʻO ke ʻano kēia inā e nahu ʻia ʻoe, e ʻeha nui ia.
Akā, ʻo ka mea nui loa ma ʻaneʻi a me ka mea e hōʻoluʻolu iā ʻoe,ʻOiai he ʻeha kēia mea ʻawahia, ʻaʻole ia he mea ʻawahia. ʻO ia hoʻi, no ke kanaka maʻamau, ʻaʻole e hoʻoweliweli kēia nahu i ke ola a i ʻole ka make. Eia kekahi, ʻaʻole kēia mau holoholona he mau holoholona huhū e hoʻouka me ka manaʻo.
ʻOiai ʻaʻole ia he mea weliweli i nā kānaka, he mea weliweli iki ia i nā pepeke ʻē aʻe. Ke mākaukau ka nalo wahine e waiho i kāna mau hua, loaʻa iā ia kahi pūnaewele i loko o kekahi ʻano nalo ʻē aʻe a waiho i kāna mau hua i loko. Ola nā larvae e puka mai ana mai kēlā hua ma ka ʻai ʻana i nā larvae o kēlā ʻano ʻē aʻe. Ua kapa ʻia kēia mau holoholona he "nā nalo parasitoid".
Ma hea kākou e ʻike nui ai i kēia poʻe?
ʻOiai ʻike nui ʻia kēia ʻano (`Dasymutilla occidentalis`) ma ʻAmelika, aia kekahi mau ʻano o kēia nalo ʻano velvet ma nā wahi like ʻole o ka honua. Ma Sri Lanka, hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i kēlā mau holoholona, ʻoi aku hoʻi ma nā wahi ākea, nā māla, nā moena pua, nā mahina ʻai mauʻu a me nā wahi ululāʻau.
E ʻike paha kākou i nā wahine e hele ana ma ka honua, a ʻo nā kāne e inu ana i ka wai huaʻai mai nā pua. Hana nui lākou i ke ao, i ka wā e puka mai ai ka lā.
He aha kāu e hana ai inā ʻike ʻoe a nahu ʻia paha ma ka home?
ʻOiai lākou e noho kaʻawale ana, ʻaʻole paha lākou e lilo i mea hoʻoweliweli inā e ʻākoakoa lākou i loko o ka hale. Inā komo koke lākou i loko o ka hale, mai hoʻopā aku iā lākou me kou mau lima ʻōlohelohe. No ka mea, inā he wahine lākou, manaʻo paha lākou he mea hoʻoweliweli lākou a nahu. Hiki iā ʻoe ke kau palekana i nā mīkina lima, hopu iā lākou me ke kīʻaha, a laila e hoʻolei iā lākou i waho.
Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi holoholona e like me kēia ma kou pā hale a i ʻole ka māla, ʻo ka mea maikaʻi loa e hana ai, ʻo ia ke waiho wale iā ia. E aʻo i nā keiki ʻōpio ʻaʻole e hoʻopā i kēia mau holoholona kala ʻālohilohi. ʻAʻole lākou e nahu ke ʻole lākou e manaʻo ua hoʻoweliweli ʻia.
Inā nahu koke ʻia ʻoe, mai hopohopo.
- ʻO ka mea mua, e holoi pono i ka wahi i nahu ʻia me ke kopa a me ka wai.
- E hoʻopili i kahi ʻeke hau e hōʻemi i ka ʻeha a me ka pehu.
- Hoʻomaha pinepine ka ʻeha ma hope o kekahi manawa. Eia nō naʻe, inā ʻaʻole hiki ke hoʻomanawanui i ka ʻeha, ua kiʻekiʻe loa ka pehu ʻana, a inā paha ʻoe e manaʻo he maʻi allergy kou (e.g., paʻakikī ka hanu ʻana, ka hives, ka dizziness), ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka ʻike koke ʻana i kāu kauka.
- Inā ʻoe e hōʻike ana i nā hōʻailona o kahi hopena alerika koʻikoʻi, e hele koke i ka Halemai Emergency Department (ETU) kokoke loa.

- ʻAʻole he ʻanuʻu ka 'Cow Killer Ant', akā, he ʻano nalo wahine ʻēheu ʻole.
- ʻO ko lākou ʻulaʻula ʻālohilohi he ʻōlelo aʻo ia e ʻōlelo ana, "Mai hoʻokokoke mai."
- ʻOiai he ʻeha loa ka nahu ʻana, ʻaʻole kona lāʻau make i ka make.
- ʻAʻole hele mai kēia mau holoholona e hoʻouka me ka manaʻo. Inā ʻike ʻoe iā lākou, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka waiho wale ʻana iā lākou.
- Inā ʻeha ʻoe, e holoi me ke kopa a kau i ka hau. Inā ʻike ʻoe i ka ʻeha nui a i ʻole nā hōʻailona maʻi ʻaleka, e ʻike koke i kāu kauka.

ʻAʻohe manaʻo i kau ʻia. Hoʻohui i kāu manaʻo ma ʻaneʻi no ka manawa mua.
