Hawaii consists of 137 volcanic islands that comprise almost the entire Hawaiian archipelago (the exception, which is outside the state, is Midway Atoll). Spanning 1,500 miles (2,400 km), the state is physiographically and ethnologically part of the Polynesian subregion of Oceania.
Aloha is the Hawaiian word for love, affection, peace, compassion and mercy, that is commonly used as a greeting.It has a deeper cultural and spiritual significance to native Hawaiians, for whom the term is used to define a force that holds together existence.
The word is found in all Polynesian languages and always with the same basic meaning of "love, compassion, sympathy, kindness." Its use in Hawaii has a seriousness lacking in the Tahitian and Samoan meanings. Mary Kawena Pukui wrote that the "first expression" of aloha was between a parent and child. - Wiki

Dragonflies and damselflies are known from all the Main Hawaiian Islands except for Kaho'olawe. Abundance: Unknown. The loss of native habitats likely means that many species within the order are declining.
