velvet ant
A velvet ant is not actually an ant, but a type of wasp (family Mutillidae) that is known for the dense hair on their bodies that can range in color from red and orange to black. The females, which are flightless and often mistaken for ants, have a painful sting, earning them the nickname "cow killer." Males, which do have wings, do not sting. They are found in various regions around the world, including the United States, Australia, and the Mediterranean.
