The Fabulous Green Sphinx Moth Tinostoma smaragditis (Endangered) was listed as Extinct in 1996, but in February 1998 a single male was attracted to a light trap on the island of Kauai, Hawaii. Since 1998, further individuals have been trapped, but the species is threatened due to the impacts of invasive species on its habitat.
