Mary Allen
Hāʻawi pū nā ʻupena hoʻoikaika i ka hoʻopuehu ʻana i nā hua kanu. No ka laʻana, lawe ʻia nā ʻanoano ma kahi o 150 mau ʻano mea kanu. Hoʻomaʻemaʻe hoʻi nā ʻanuʻu i ka nahele a lawe aku i nā holoholona make. A ʻo ka mea nui, e like me nā holoholona predatory, luku lākou i nā pests i ka nui.
No ke aha i koʻikoʻi ai nā ʻanuʻu?
No ke aha e pono ai nā ʻanuʻu. Hāʻawi lākou i ke olaolaola ma o ka lawe ʻana a me ka hoʻopuehu ʻana i nā hua. Kākoʻo pū lākou i ke koena o ke ʻano ma ka ʻai ʻana i nā pest. ʻAi ʻia kahi koloni ant a hiki i ka 100,000 mau meaʻeha - i kēlā me kēia lā!
He aha me ka ʻole o nā ʻanuʻu?
Ma mua o ka noho ʻana o nā mea kanu i kahi ʻāina wao nahele, noho nā ʻanuʻu ma laila a hoʻonohonoho hou i kekahi mau papa lepo. Inā ʻaʻohe ʻanuʻu, he mea paʻakikī loa ka noho ʻana o nā mea kanu ma ia mau wahi. E maloʻo iki ka lepo i kēlā me kēia ua.
He aha nā hana i hana ʻia e nā aneto?
Lawe lākou i nā hana like ʻole e like me ka ʻimi ʻana i ka meaʻai, ka mālama ʻana i ke keiki, ke kūkulu ʻana i ka pūnana, ka pale ʻana a me ka mālama ʻana i ko lākou makuahine, ke aliʻi wahine. ʻOiai he wahine nā limahana a pau, ʻaʻole lākou e waiho hua. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa ma ʻaneʻi.
No ke aha e pono ai nā ʻanuʻu ma ka māla?
I nā manawa he nui, ʻaʻole pono ka hakakā ʻana, no ka mea, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā ʻōpala i ka māla mea kanu no ka mea lawe lākou i nā ʻāpana mea kanu make i loko o ka lepo ma ke ʻano he biomass. Hāʻawi pū lākou i ka ea me ko lākou mau tunnels a hānai i nā mea ʻino e like me nā wireworms, kāpeti enuhe keʻokeʻo a i ʻole nā hua snail.
He mea pono a pōʻino paha nā popo?
Ma kahi e hoʻopilikia ʻole ai nā holoholona iā ʻoe, hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻae iā lākou i ko lākou ala, no ka mea, ma ke ʻano he poʻe pōā, ʻai nā popo i ka nui o nā pests. Eia kekahi, hāʻawi nā ʻōpala i ka bio-mass i ka lepo i ka wā e kūkulu ai i nā pūnana a ma ke ʻano he "mākaʻi olakino" e hoʻoneʻe lākou i ke kino a me nā ʻōpala make.
ʻAʻole maʻemaʻe anei nā ʻanuʻu?
No ka mea, ʻaʻole ʻono wale kekahi mau ʻano ant a me ka maʻemaʻe ʻole, hoʻoili kekahi i nā maʻi, ʻo ia ke kumu ʻaʻole ʻae ʻia ko lākou hele ʻana i nā halemai a i ʻole nā hale kīʻaha canteen.
Hiki i ka ant ke nahu?
Ke hoʻouka ʻia ka ʻanuʻu, nahu ʻo ia i ka ʻili me kāna mau pine. Eia kekahi, hoʻopuka ʻo ia i kahi mea huna i loaʻa i ka formic acid, kahi mea ʻeha loa i ke kanaka. He ʻulaʻula ka ʻili a puni ka wahi o ka puncture a ulu ka pustule liʻiliʻi - e like me ka nahu ʻupena.
He aha nā ʻenemi o nā ʻanuʻu?
ʻO ka hope akā ʻaʻole ka mea liʻiliʻi loa, ʻo nā ʻanuʻu ka meaʻai no nā holoholona ululāʻau ʻē aʻe: ʻo nā ʻanuʻu ka meaʻai na nā manu, nā moʻo, nā ʻaʻa, nā nahesa liʻiliʻi a me nā spider. Akā, ʻo ka ʻenemi maoli o ka ʻanuʻu lāʻau ʻulaʻula, ʻo ia ke kanaka, e luku ana i ko lākou wahi noho a me ko lākou pūnana.
ʻO wai ka mea ʻai i ka ʻanai?
ʻAi nui nā manu Gallinaceous e like me nā pheasants, partridges, capercaillie a me nā mea ʻē aʻe, i ka wā o ka hānai ʻana. ʻO ka poʻe hahai holoholona lele e like me nā ʻāleʻa a me nā swifts e hopu i ka heluna nui o nā holoholona moe lele mai nā ʻanuʻu i ka wā hoʻohuhi.
He iwi ko ka ant?
E like me nā pepeke a pau, ʻo nā ʻanuʻu he invertebrates. ʻAʻohe ou iwi. No kēia mea, ua kāhiko maikaʻi ʻia lākou e like me ka naita i loko o kona kapa kila. He ʻeono kou mau wāwae a ua māhele ʻia kou kino i ʻekolu ʻāpana.
He aha ka mea kūikawā e pili ana i nā aneto?
He ʻeono mau wāwae o ka ant a me ke kino i māhele ʻia i ʻekolu ʻāpana a he poʻo, ʻoʻo, a me ka ʻōpū. Hiki ke ʻulaʻula-ʻulaʻula, ʻeleʻele, a melemele paha ke kala ma muli o ka ʻano. He mea paakiki loa ko lakou.
He pōʻino paha nā ʻanuʻu?
ʻAʻole pōʻino nā ans i ko mākou olakino. Eia naʻe, ʻike ka hapa nui o ka poʻe iā lākou he mea hoʻonāukiuki inā nui lākou i ka hale, ke keʻena, a i ʻole ka māla. Eia kekahi, hiki iā lākou ke hana i kahi pōʻino.
