Why are the coqui frogs not welcomedin Hawaii?

Coqui frogs, native to Puerto Rico, are not welcomed in Hawaii because they are invasive species that disrupt local ecosystems. Their loud calls can be a significant nuisance, particularly in residential areas, leading to complaints from residents. Additionally, they compete with native species for resources and can negatively impact agriculture by feeding on crops. As a result, efforts to control their population and prevent their spread are ongoing in Hawaii.
