Velvet Ants🐜 The Cow Killer Ants | All About Animals The velvet ant is actually a wingless female wasp, often mistaken for an ant, with bright, velvety hair in red, orange, or yellow. Known for their painful sting, they are sometimes called "cow killers." Velvet ants are solitary, parasitic wasps that lay eggs in other insect nests. They prefer dry, sandy environments and are well-defended with both their sting and warning coloration. Despite their painful sting, they pose no real danger to hum

This looks like an ant…and the name Red Velvet Ant (Dasymutilla occidentalis) sounds like it would back that up…but it’s actually a wingless wasp. Females like this one are wingless but have a stinger that is also an ovipositor while the males have wings but no stinger. Female red velvet ants aren’t always quiet. When threatened, they squeak by rubbing body parts together — a warning sound meant to say “don’t touch me.” And now you can actually hear the warning! #RedVelvetAnt #NatureSounds #Wild

Not an ant, won’t take out your cow, and tastes NOTHING like red velvet cake. But it’s an amaIng insect nonetheless!!! Have you ever found an Eastern Velvet Ant in the wild? They’re speedy (as you can see at the end of the video), so once they spot you it can be hard to get a good look! #entomology #wasps #bugs #Dallas #VelvetAnt | Trinity River Audubon Center

We love CritCrit! 🥰 🐜 She is a velvet ant, a flightless wasp, who loves scritches and a stroll around the hand. She has never stung me and she has become trusting of me. She used to squeak at me as a warning that she would sting, but now she never squeaks. I love her so much! #ilovebugs #bugs #cute #ant #velvetant | Kira Ottaway Watt
