Abundant along shore of loko i‘a among ‘ākulikuli
feeding on Euphorbia peplus
Small skink approximately 3” with a bright blue tail, copper body and stripe on the head. He was in the pandanus leaf litter on the cliffs of Waianapanapa State Park. I believe it may be an Azure-tailed skink. I sent the photo to a biologist that studied this species and he agreed it appeared to be Emoia impar.
I deleted my first observation because I made a comment on it that needed corrected. My apologies to the user that had commented on my previous ID.
