      Looks like Cocculus orbiculatus (huehue). It's a hardy indigenous species that never seems to be super abundant, but can be found in a wide range of places, some quite disturbed, we even have some growing under Eucalyptus forest at our place in Olinda, Maui. There is a new non-native fruit piercing moth whose larval stage uses this as a host plant.
