ʻIʻiwi/Scarlet Honeycreeper (Drepanis coccinea)

Okay, this one isn’t a snail, but every now and then I stumble across a creature that isn’t a snail but still deserves an illustration.

The ʻiʻiwi (pronounced ee-EE-vee) is an endangered species of bird native to Hawaii. It is also known as the scarlet honeycreeper and it uses its long curved beak to drink nectar from flowers. It is threatened by climate change and habitat loss.

This guy is available as a sticker on my Etsy :)
