Wēkiu bug
The wēkiu bug (''Nysius wekiuicola'') is a species of seed bug, endemic to Hawaii island.
==Description==
The wēkiu bug is flightless and inhabits the summit area of Mauna Kea, over .
It is named after ''Puu Wēkiu'', which means "topmost hill" in the Hawaiian language, the summit peak of Mauna Kea.
Unlike most other lygaeids, which eat seeds, it has adapted to feed on insects that are blown up to the top of the mountain and die. This is not as small a resource as it might seem; snow packs at the summit are often covered with hundreds of them. When the snow melts, wēkiu bugs can be found at the edge feeding on insects that drop out of the melting snow. They have an "antifreeze" in their blood that allows them to survive at low temperatures.
