Little Fire Ant Found on Maui (Oct 15, 2009)
Hawaii Department of Agriculture.
An invasive, stinging ant called the Little Fire Ant (LFA) has been discovered on a farm in Waihee, Maui. The Hawaii Department of Agriculture (HDOA) is working with the land owner to eradicate the ant. Although this ant species has been on the Big Island since at least 1999, this is the first discovery of the ant on Maui. The Pest Advisory on the Little Fire Ant (2007; PDF | 110 KB) contains information on LFA and its history in Hawaii.

Introduced Japanese White-eyes Pose Major Threat To Hawaii's Native And Endangered Birds (Sep 18, 2009)
Science Daily.
In the late 1920s, people intentionally introduced birds known as Japanese white-eyes into Hawaiian agricultural lands and gardens for purposes of bug control. Now, that decision has come back to bite us. A recent increase in the numbers of white-eyes that live in old-growth forests is leaving native bird species with too little to eat, according to a recent report.
