This very common yellowjacket wasp was collected in Guam by Fullaway and recorded under the name P. hebraeus, a related species which has been synonymized with P. macaensis in some of the literature. It occurs in Hawaii and other Pacific island groups. It is common and widely distributed in Guam.
These wasps are useful in gardens as they habitually carry caterpillars and young grasshoppers home for feeding the larvae in their paper nests. Their cibundance may be indicated by the size of nests found. One nest, four inches in diameter, contained 193 cells, in each of which a wasp had grown to maturity.

COMMENTS: Because Graminorthezia currently comprises 11 described species (Miller et al., 2013) based on female morphology, the description of the adult male of G. graminis acts for now as the generic diagnosis. The genus is classified in the tribe Ortheziini (Kozár, 2004), along with Insignorthezia, Orthezia, and Praelongorthezia, and was defined based on adult female morphology and distinguished from these other genera by “bands or rows of wax plates within the ovisac band,” “head of dorsum without sclerotized cephalic plates,” and “no more than 7 abdominal spiracles” (Kozár, 2004: 271). The genus is distributed mainly in the Nearctic, with some species in the Neotropical regions.

We were unable to observe any specimen from this species, originally described as a subspecies of what is known as Hebardina assiniensis (Bolívar, 1893), a Blattidae, from the Democratic Republic of Congo. Thus, the generic assignation of this species to Rhabdoblatta is doubtful.

This species is smaller and more abundant than the Polistes wasps. It is to be seen searching for caterpillars in grass lands, gardens, fields, roadsides and in the forests. Leafroller caterpillars are their particular prey. These are used for daily feeding to their larvae in paper nests. The nests are composed of much smaller cells than those of Polistes. The cells are vertical, and the nest is usually elongate and hangs on a slant instead of being horizontal and nearly circular as is the Polistes nest. These nests are commonly found on the under side of palm leaves, in hedges and on mango leaves. One nest found among mango leaves contained 541 cells. This wasp is quick to attack when its nest is disturbed, and the sting is severe for its size. We found several TODO TODO specimens dead with a fungus disease, the same kind as found on Polistes niacaensis. This may prove to be Hirsutella saussurei (Cooke).

description: The country's invasion of the Golden Apple Snail (Pomacea canaliculata) is fast becoming a critical ecological concern as it wreaks havoc on agricultural cropping systems, especially rice production. This paper will look into synthesizing ecological insights, economic implications, and management strategies, with special emphasis on integrated paleontological and systematic studies as essential in understanding and managing this invasive species. Data analysis regarding historical perspectives, species interactions, and evolutionary biology serves to put forth an all-inclusive argument in dealing with threats from invasive species in a multidisciplinary form. Further recommendations highlight the significance of collaborative efforts, such as scientific research complemented with community involvement, to strengthen management effectiveness and advance desirable ecological and economic benefits in affected areas. This paper is generally supposed to feed into policy development relating to agricultural productivity with environmental integrity.

This large brown wasp is very abundant and widely distributed. It is usuafly to be found in gardens, and is often seen abundantly on country roadsides and trails. It is a caterpillar hunter, storing the caterpillars in empty burrows of tree-boring beetles in stumps, trunks, or dead branches. Enough caterpillars are placed in a burrow to supply food for one larva, then plugged with mud. Their presence on or along roadsides is for the purpose of gathering mud for plugging the nests. Fullaway collected this wasp in 1911. It occurs in Borneo, Sumatra and all through southern Asia.

description: With Artificial Intelligence (AI) shifting heavily into the focus of large corporations andresearchers, both the development of systems incorporating techniques and methods using various forms of AI, as well as the research in this field has sped up tremendously the last few years. This development and usage of novel technologies due to an urgency created by external influences often means that human-centrality and ethical alignment is neglected for a reduced time-to-market. Surveys have found that the automation and other technological advancements in AI are a source of anxiety among people. Due to the high impact and transformative force of AI, debates and research focusing on the values and principles of AI are of high importance for a sustainable implementation of AI technologies that allow for trust in the socio-technical environments in which they are embedded. There has been a lot of research on defining ethical guidelines and establishing a general framework for a human-centric, ethically correct approach for the implementation of AI systems. Nevertheless, very little to no research has been done on the nexus between guidance documents and concrete implementations in companies, focusing on the impacts on affected employees and what measures companies can take to ease the transition process from known technologies and processes to novel AI technologies, providing a bottom-up, change management-focused approach that identifies human-focused problems that arise during such an implementation. In this paper, we bridge the gap between guidance documents, focusing on the Ethics Guidelines for Trustworthy AI and a concrete implementation of AI technologies at a large railway company, affecting several hundred employees. Using qualitative research - in concrete purposive sampling, semi-structured interviews and a document analysis - we identify relevant stakeholders and analyse the impact of the introduction of AI technologies across affected subcompanies on fears, expectations, experiences and ethical concerns. Based on these results evaluated through a structured content analysis, we define concrete short-, medium- , and long-term change management and ethically responsible measures with KPIs to enable a human-centric and trustworthy integration of AI. Following communicative validation, triangulation, we validate the results according to the quality criteria by Mayring.

This wasp is apparently a recent immigrant in Guam, as it was not previously recorded. Its home is tropical America, and it is very common in the Hawaiian islands, where it was first observed in 1911. Probably it has reached Guam from Honolulu since that year. It frequents houses, and habitually makes use of empty cells of muddauber wasps' nests to store caterpillars for food for its larvae. The caterpillars stored are those of Microlepidoptera, commonly tortricid larvae. In Guam, P. nasidens was found using empty nests of Pison argentatuni about our residence at Piti. It was found generally throughout Guam, but the specimens in our collection were nearly all from Piti.

Description
Based on 13 specimens. Body 8.06± 0.75 mm (7.05–9.30) long and 184.68±17.44 (140.3–210) wide, with cuticle almost smooth. Lateral cuticular alae well developed, extending from the level of nerve ring to level of rectum. Cephalic end rounded, bearing small ventral larval tooth. Esophagus narrow, 796.5±131.41 (537.5– 975) long and 43.32±7.04 (30–50) wide. Nerve ring encircling esophagus 216.03±15.72 (186.5–246) from anterior extremity. Excretory pore just posterior to nerve ring 237.06±32.52 (192–294). Anterior intestinal caecum narrow, exceeding half of esophagus length; length of caecum 521.38±98.21 (350–725), its width 34.72±5.44 (25–41.4). Tail conical, 108.68±9.20 (96.6–126.5) long, sharply pointed.
Remarks
In South America these larvae have been reported previously in the liver of Leptodactylus bufonius (Leptodactylidae) from Corrientes, Argentina, by González and Hamann (2006a). Adult nematodes of Ortleppascaris parasitize the intestinal tract of crocodiles; in South America being reported in the Paraguayan caiman, Caiman yacare (Alligatoridae) (Goldberg et al. 1991), in Caiman sclerops and Crocodylus intermedius from Venezuela and, in Caiman crocodilus (Crocodylidae) from Brazil (Campana­Rouget 1960; Sprent 1978).
The specimens described by these authors differ from those described in the present study in that they are of greater size (total length: 5–12 mm; width: 144–234; length of esophagus: 480–1150 and nerve ring to anterior extremity: 210–282).
