About Scatella sexnotata
Scatella sexnotata is one of the widespread nonendemic shore flies in the Hawaiian review.
Habitat and specimen evidence
Scatella sexnotata is one of the widespread nonendemic shore flies in the Hawaiian review. It is associated with human-modified wet settings such as irrigation systems and greenhouses. Such records help explain why it may be encountered near managed water as well as in broader aquatic surveys. They do not establish crop damage, a Kauaʻi outbreak, or an absence of native shore flies from the same habitat.
