In 1936 we procured more specimens of P. argentatum than of all the others. We have 21 specimens of P. argentatum, all but one from Piti, where they were quite common in and about our residence. The little mud nests were common on walls and in corners of back rooms. These nests are made up of one to six cells in which the wasp stores up small spiders on which its larvae feed. There is considerable parasitism by Melittobia hawaiiensis, a tiny parasite whose larvae feed externally on the wasp larvae. There may be up to 100 parasite larvae on one wasp larva. On May 19, a nest containing 6 cells was collected on the scale shed at the Agricultural School, Piti, each cell containing a Pison cocoon in which were tiny exit holes where parasites had issued; hence, a parasitism of 100 percent. On September 24, several nests were collected and examined at the residence. These nests totalled 19 cells, the contents of which were: four with dead pisons; one with dead spiders, one with caterpillars stored by Pachodynerus nasidens; two with roach egg case; ten had cocoons showing exit holes of MeZ,ittobia;one had living pupae of Melittobia. In this nest, the parasitism would have been at least 56 percent.</p> <p>This wasp occurs in Madagascar, India, Philippines, and Hawaii. It has undoubtedly become introduced into Guam in somewhat recent years, from Hawaii or the Philippines.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/491C80214A7952466C7BFDD5096AF836	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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).</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/491C80214A7A52446C92F9490FA6FD6D	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/491C80214A7B52446C15F9A50C2FF641	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

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.
