Pachodynerus nasidens, the keyhole wasp, is a species of stinging wasp in the family Vespidae. It is native to the Neotropics and has been introduced to the northern United States and in some Pacific Ocean areas. In Brisbane, Australia, it was recently introduced and reported as a risk factor to air safety, because aircraft Pitot Tubes present an attractive nesting venue for these wasps. Wikipedia →

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Keyhole Wasp is recorded against all the insects logged in Orlando (8 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
