Mount Kilauea on Hawaii is a volcano.
The Richter scale is measurement of an earthquake strength.
Thus you can not put Mt. Kilauea on the Richter scale - they are not the same thing!
However when volcanoes erupt they do produce localearthquakes which you can measure on the Richter scale but to choose which one you want to know about you have to provide a date for the eruption event.
Mt. Kilauea is (March - April 2008) currently undergoing some small explosive eruptions that have produced very smallearthquakes, some ash and allot of SO2 gas.

This is really an answer but we dont use the ricter scale to record earthquakes because it didn't work well.. we use the M.M.S (Moment Magnitude Scale) To record earthquakes.. ----
