Yes, I was told that is the reason why we have them here. That was the first and only time I have ever seen one. Yes, we still have mosquitos

There is only one possible species in Hawaii: Dendrobates auratus, actually as you noted already introduced against mosquitos. Ehm... Do you still have mosquitos in Hawaii??
