Despite >100 years of entomological surveys, the bone collector species has only been found in a 15-km2 area of mesic forest in the Waiʻanae mountain range on the island of Oʻahu. Typically, an endemic Hawaiian lineage will contain multiple species with similar habits distributed across at least part of the archipelago [e.g., (11, 12)], but no other member of the bone collector lineage has been found. Phylogenomic analysis shows that the bone collector lineage is at least 6 million years old, >3 million years older than the island of Oʻahu (Fig. 3) (13).

The forest is being increasingly occupied by invasive species.

I did this a lot with poptarts as a kid. I'm sure I would still do it, but I hate poptarts now.

~~Scolopendra subspinipes~~

~~...the species is known by many common names, including jungle centipede, orange-legged centipede, Hawaiian centipede, and Vietnamese centipede.~~

~~...it is also found on virtually all land areas around and within the Indian Ocean, all of tropical and subtropical Asia from Russia to the islands of Malaysia and Indonesia, Australia, South and Central America, the Caribbean islands, and possibly parts of the southern United States...~~

I think it's actually Scolopendra alternans because the one pictured has only 4 segments on it's antennae, but subspinipes has many.

Scolopendra alternans is a species group found in the whole Caribbean island and northern South America, with the Florida population reevaluated as a distinct species Scolopendra longipes.[1] They have also been reported as far north as Georgia.

As far as I understand it, it's in terms of soft power. With projects such as USAID (United States Agency for International Development) and others like it, USA maintains the status-quo in it's favour; however, the new Republican administration have been shooting themselves in the foot by cutting funding for those programs. Thus, the USAs power is diminished.

Likely also a lot of financial things, especially after/during WWII, but I really don't know enough about that to even guess.

A lot more can be said about the CIAs work in destabilizing "non-American aligned" countries by initiating coups and assassinating/kidnapping democratically elected leaders, but that has arguably done more harm than good to American influence.

*Also it was, for a time, the centre of the world in terms of scientific advancement and urbanism. Los Angeles had what was once the worlds largest tram network that still hasn't been matched by anyone to this day. Melbourne comes close, but it's still a fraction of what LAs was... Goddamn shame.
