The Gatherer - endemic Hawai'ian insect: udara blackburni. One of many gatherers, she spends her time seeking and harvesting a broad range of materials such as food, flowers, nectar, medicinal plants. dye-making and carving materials, and anything else her community needs. With her iridescent wings strengthened by her many years of gathering, she is able to fly with nearly thrice her weight in cargo, though as she weighs very little, this is a slightly modest yet considerable weight.
The Spear Catcher - endemic Hawaiian insect: megalagrion oceanicum. During the Makahiki season, which is dedicated to the insect-hybrid version of the agricultural god also known to the surface dwellers as Lono, great athletes emerge to champion the many communities from which they belong. Represented here is a well-known spear catcher in the act of dodging and gathering spears out of the air as they sail towards her.
