Oliarus (planthopper)
Antiparos (; ; ; is a small island in the southern Aegean, at the heart of the Cyclades, which is less than one nautical mile (1.9 km) from Paros, the port to which it is connected with a local ferry. Saliagos island is the most ancient settlement in the Cyclades, and Despotiko, an uninhabited island in the southwest of Antiparos, is a place of great archaeological importance. The Community of Antiparos was founded in 1914 and was promoted to a municipality in 2010 with the implementation of the Law "Kallikrates", under the principle of "each island a municipality". It occupies an area of 45.182 square km, including the island of Antiparos and Despotiko. It has, according to the 2021 census, 1,265 permanent residents and a density of 28 inhabitants per km².

Lava Tube
A lava tube, more rarely called a pyroduct, is a 'roofed conduit through which molten lava travels away from its vent'. If lava in the tube drains out, it will leave an empty cave. Lava tubes are common in low-viscosity volcanic systems. Lava tubes are important as they are able to transport molten lava much further away from the eruptive vent than lava channels. A tube-forming lava flow can emplace on longer distance due to the presence of a solid crust protecting the molten lava from atmospheric cooling. Lava tubes are often considered when preparing hazard maps or managing an eruptive crisis. Formation A lava tube is a type of lava cave formed when a low-viscosity lava flow develops a continuous and hard crust, which thickens and forms a roof above the still-flowing lava stream. Three main formation mechanisms have been described: (1) roofing over a lava channel, (2) pāhoehoe lobe extension or (3) lava flow inflation. # When it erupts from a vent, lava usually flow ...

Oliarus Polyphemus
''Oliarus polyphemus'', the Hawai'i cave planthopper,Howarth, Francis G. "Community structure and niche differentiation in Hawaiian lava tubes." ''US/IBP synthesis series'' (1981). is a species of ''Oliarus (planthopper), Oliarus'' planthopper endemic to the island of Hawaii (island), Hawai'i, where it inhabits lava tube, lava tubes and crevice networks embedded in solidified lava flows. Description ''Oliarus polyphemus'' is completely pale and unpigmented. It has no eyes and as such is completely blind. Individuals range from 3.2-5mm in length, with females being larger than males. Adults are flightless. Distribution and habitat ''Olarius polyphemus'' is only found on the island of Hawai'i. It is thought to live primarily in a vast network of underground cooling cracks formed when pahoehoe lava from the island's various volcanoes solidified. This crevice habitat is thought to be the primary habitat of ''O. polyphemus'' and other Hawai'i cave endemic arthropods, but individuals o ...

Haleakalā
Haleakalā (; Hawaiian: ), or the East Maui Volcano, is a massive, active shield volcano that forms more than 75% of the Hawaiian Islands, Hawaiian Island of Maui. The western 25% of the island is formed by another volcano, Mauna Kahalawai, also referred to as the West Maui Mountains. The tallest peak of Haleakalā ("house of the sun"), at , is Puu Ulaula (Red Hill). From the summit one looks down into a massive depression some across, wide, and nearly deep. The surrounding walls are steep and the interior mostly barren-looking with a scattering of volcanic cones. History Early Hawaiians applied the name ''Haleakalā'' ("house of the sun") to the general mountain. Haleakalā is also the name of a peak on the southwestern edge of Kaupō Gap. In Hawaiian folklore, the depression (crater) at the summit of Haleakalā was home to the grandmother of the Maui (Hawaiian mythology), demigod Māui. According to the legend, Māui's grandmother helped him capture the sun and force it ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hana, Hawaii
Hāna is a census-designated place (CDP) in Maui County, Hawaii, United States. The population was 1,526 at the 2020 census. Hāna is located at the eastern end of the island of Maui and is one of the most isolated communities in the state. It is reached mainly via the Hana Highway, a long, winding, highway along Maui's northern shore, via boat, and with commercial air service to Hana Airport. History Like most of Hawaii, Hāna was probably first settled between 500 and 800 AD by Polynesian peoples. The first sugarcane plantation in the area was established by George Wilfong in 1849, and by 1883 there were six plantations operating in the area. By 1946, however, the last sugarcane plantation had closed, leading plantation workers to move mostly to the west side of Maui. That same year saw the opening of the Kauiki Inn, later known as the Hotel Travaasa – Hana and today as the Hyatt Hana-Maui Resort, which helped transition the economy towards tourism.

Insects Described In 1973
Insects (from Latin ') are hexapod invertebrates of the class Insecta. They are the largest group within the arthropod phylum. Insects have a chitinous exoskeleton, a three-part body (head, thorax and abdomen), three pairs of jointed legs, compound eyes, and a pair of antennae. Insects are the most diverse group of animals, with more than a million described species; they represent more than half of all animal species. The insect nervous system consists of a brain and a ventral nerve cord. Most insects reproduce by laying eggs. Insects breathe air through a system of paired openings along their sides, connected to small tubes that take air directly to the tissues. The blood therefore does not carry oxygen; it is only partly contained in vessels, and some circulates in an open hemocoel. Insect vision is mainly through their compound eyes, with additional small ocelli. Many insects can hear, using tympanal organs, which may be on the legs or other parts of the body. The ...
