Abstract
The occurrence of the orchid bee Euglossa dilemma Bembé and Eltz (Hymenoptera: Apidae) is recorded for the first time for the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles. Males were observed visiting varieties of sweet basil plants (Ocimum basilicum Linnaeus (Lamiaceae)) to obtain fragrances used during courtship and reproduction. Our observations showed that the species is established in Hispaniola and that it does not require the presence of orchids for reproductive success, being able to adapt to new plant resources it finds in the areas it colonizes. These observations correspond to what was found in Florida, United States, where Euglossa dilemma was also recently introduced. It is not clear how the species was introduced to Hispaniola, but Euglossa dilemma is clearly an adventive species that is colonizing the Antilles in addition to peninsular Florida.\nSe registra por primera vez la presencia de la abeja de orquídeas Euglossa dilemma Bembé y Eltz (Hymenoptera: Apidae) para la isla La Española, Antillas Mayores. Fueron observados machos acudiendo a variedades de plantas de albahaca (Ocimun basilicum Linnaeus) para obtener fragancias utilizadas durante el cortejo y la reproducción. Nuestras observaciones demuestran que la especie está establecida en La Española y que no requiere de la presencia de orquídeas para el éxito reproductivo, pudiendo adaptarse a los nuevos recursos vegetales que encuentra en las áreas que coloniza. Estas observaciones se corresponden con lo hallado en La Florida, Estados Unidos, donde fue introducida recientemente. Euglossa dilemma es una especie no nativa que además de La Florida está colonizando las Antillas.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
