The Puerto Rican species E. Coqui is a small frog that is commonly found along islands and forests’ in Hawaii (Beard, Price, and Pitt, 2009). The species is mainly nocturnal and lives on land. It was introduced in Hawaii through nursery plants back in the 1980’s. The nuisance caused by the loud mating calls has brought up the need to control and eradicate the frog in Hawaii. Its establishment in Hawaii has spread over the four main Hawaiian Islands where there have not been any native amphibians present (Beard, Price, and Pitt, 2009).
