We examined habitat use and foraging activity of the endangered Hawaiian hoary bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus), as well as nocturnal aerial insect abundance at Kaloko-Honōkohau National Historical Park located in the coastal region of Kailua-Kona, Hawai‘i Island. The study area covers approximately 486 ha of marine waters and terrestrial coastal plains. Nocturnal aerial insect collection occurred in January and April (2 or 3 nights each) and in July and November (1 or 2 nights each) in 2014. Insects were collected at three stations (KAHO1, KAHO3, KAHO4) between 1 and 10 m above sea level. Nocturnal aerial insects were collected using a 22 W UV light placed above a funnel and bucket trap (Model #2851M, Bioquip Products Inc., Rancho Dominguez, CA) and powered by a 12 V marine deep cycle battery. Insect traps were placed near (~10 m) KAHO1 and KAHO3 (wooded shorelines) and KAHO4 (xeric, vegetated lava field). Timers turned the lights on at approximately one hour before local sunset and off at approximately one hour after local sunrise. Insects were removed from the traps at approximately 00:00 and 06:00, and preserved in EtOH. Insect samples were counted and identified to taxonomic order under a dissecting microscope (Leica MS5, Leica Microsystems Inc., Wetzlar, DE). Samples were dried in a drying oven for approximately 48 hours at 65 C and weighed on an analytical scale.
The objectives of the data collection were to document a potential prey base for Hawaiian hoary bat foraging and seasonal patterns of insect presence at Kaloko-Honokōhau National Historical Park in 2014.
This dataset accompanies two companion datasets titled "Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, Hawaiian Hoary bat acoustic data 2013-2015" and "Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park, Insect biomass data 2014".

All insects were identified to order and verified by visual inspection. Insect parts that could not be visually identified were places in the "other" category.
No formal logical accuracy tests were conducted.
Some insect collection stations had equipment malfunctions that resulted in half-nights or nights when no collection occurred. Data set is considered complete for the information presented, as described in the abstract. Note: Data presented here represents all available data collected. Some data such as half-nights were not used in analyses for the associated publication: Hawaiian Hoary Bat (Lasiurus cinereus semotus) Activity and Prey Availability at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park. Users are advised to read the rest of the metadata record carefully for additional details.
A formal accuracy assessment of the horizontal positional information in the data set has not been conducted.
A formal accuracy assessment of the vertical positional information in the data set has either not been conducted, or is not applicable.
Insect collection sampling was conducted at Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park in 2014. Insect collection occurred in January and April (2 or 3 nights each) and in July and November (1 or 2 nights each). Three insect sampling stations were established (sites KAHO1, KAHO3 and KAHO4). Stations KAHO1 and KAHO3 were established near (~10 m) wooded shorelines of brackish fishponds dominated by an invasive species of mesquite tree known locally as kīawe (Prosopis pallida, Fabaceae). Station KAHO4 was placed in xeric lava fields dominated by another invasive species of tree known locally as haole koa or white leadwood (Leucaena leucocephala, Fabaceae) and fountain grass (Cenchrus setaceus, Poaceae).

Insect data were organized into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for statistical analyses. At each station for each operating night, insect counts, and dry-biomass were summed for each taxonomic order. Some insect collection stations had equipment malfunctions that resulted in half-nights or nights when no collection occurred.

Occasionally, the elytra are short and do not fully cover the abdomen. One or both of the wings rarely reduced or absent. Antennae usually with 11 segments, rarely with more, often with eight to ten, rarely as few as two. Mouth parts chewing. Tarsi usually three to five-segmented. Abdomen commonly with five segments visible ventrally, sometimes with up to eight.

LEPIDOPTERA_OTHER
Note: This category includes all Lepidoptera captured except for the “Lepidoptera_MOI” which was the family Geometridae and considered a “moth of interest” due to its perceived abundance during collection times.

With four membranous wings (rarely wingless), hindwing a little smaller than forewing. Wings largely or entirely covered with scales. Mouth parts sucking, the proboscis usually in the form of a coiled tube. Mandibles nearly always vestigial or lacking.

LEPIDOPTERA_MOI
Note: This category was narrowed beyond taxonomic order to family (Geometridae). This category excludes all other Lepidoptera captured except for those in family Geometridae. These were considered a “moth of interest” due to its perceived abundance during collection times.
Count of Lepidoptera_MOI identified by the following characteristics:
Usually have slender bodies and relatively large, broad forewings, often crossed by thin wavy lines; females of some species are wingless or have flightless atrophied wings. When at rest, many geometrid moths hold their wings away from the body and flat against the substrate (in contrast to most noctuid moths, which tend to fold their wings over their abdomen); some species/genera hold their wings in a characteristic position such as: flat & at right-angles to the body, or inclined 45 degrees above horizontal, or vertically over their back like a butterfly. Forewing cubitus vein appears three-branched; hindwing subcostal vein bends abruptly downward at base.
