事实
Its predation is one of the main causes of colony failure in the paper wasp Polistes chinensis in Japan.1
Unlike most aerial hornets, whose nests are completely sealed, its nest has an open bottom.1
Its nest is kept at 25 to 30 °C until about the middle of October, when it cools towards the surrounding temperature as the nest begins to die.1
It was found on Guam in August 2016 and has since become a permanent resident of the island's ecosystem.1
It may play a significant role in controlling populations of Asian paper wasps.1
