)Non-native Caribbean frogs* have become established in some areas in Hawaii (*coqui and greenhouse frogs:Eleutherodactylus spp. [not true 'tree frogs', as some have called them]). They cause both environmental problemsand problems for people. These creatures have a special appeal to some people; however, these frogsare not native to Hawaii, and their existence in Hawaii poses a great threat to native species in Hawaii . Although the call of the coqui is often beloved by residents of the coqui's native habitat, the extremely loud noise they make in Hawaii (presumably louder than in native habitats because of higher concentrations of populations) has been reported to be extremely annoying to numerous Hawaii residents and visitors. (For example, a recent article in a health-related magazine cites coqui as causing sleepless nights on the island of Oahu.)
