The Kamehameha butterfly, Vanessa tameamea, is an endemic species to the Hawaiian archipelago. Though it can still be found on each of the main Hawaiian islands: Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, and Hawaii island, loss of habitat due fragmentation has led to its rapid decline in population size. Currently, a captive breeding program exists to curb its descent into being listed as a federally listed endangered species. This specimen is from a wild collected population from Waianae on Oahu and was sampled from a colony maintained by the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
