What insects on the island of Guam sting humans?

The Giant Centipede (Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans) is the only centipede on Guam known to sting (rather than, or in addition to biting) humans. While its sting usually only amounts to mild pain that subsides rapidly, there have been rare cases of anaphylaxis, particularly with young children.
