Life on the Mauna Kea summit must
endure freezing temperatures, winter snow falls, and,
occasionally, hurricane-force winds. The centers of the
summit cones on Mauna Kea are permanently frozen to just
a few feet below the surface. Only lichens and some
mosses grow scattered on the tops of rocks. Until recently
these cold stone fields were thought to be devoid of
resident animal life.
An unusual new bug was first discovered in 1980 by
biologists searching for insects under stones on Pu`u
Wekiu. Although known to scientists as Nysius wekiuicola,
this "seed bug" in the family Lygaeidae was given the
common name "wekiu bug" to highlight the unusual location
where these insects live. As their familiar name implies,
most seed bugs feed on seeds by piercing their straw-like
mouth parts into the inner seed tissue and sucking it out.
However, since no native seed-bearing plants live in the
summit area of Mauna Kea, it was clear to biologists that
these insects must be tapping into a different food source
than their close relatives.
Entomologists studied the ecology of the wekiu bug to find
out how it could survive in such an extreme and hostile
environment. Unlike their seed-feeding relatives, the wekiu
bugs consume other dead and dying insects that get carried
upslope by winds and deposited at the summit. The bugs
search under rocks and across ash flows for fresh,
wind-blown carcasses. They then use their piercing
mouth-parts to puncture the exoskeleton of their prey and
suck out the juices inside.
