Pachodynerus nasidens, the keyhole wasp, is a Vespidae wasp that can pose an air safety risk by nesting in aircraft Pitot Tubes.
Pachodynerus nasidens, commonly called the keyhole wasp, is a species of stinging wasp that belongs to the family Vespidae. This species is native to the Neotropics. It has been introduced to the northern United States and several areas in the Pacific Ocean. It was recently introduced to Brisbane, Australia, where it has been identified as an air safety risk.
