Dasymutilla vestita, a species of velvet ant, in southern New Mexico, US. Despite their name, velvet ants are actually wasps. The females, like the one in this picture, don't have wings and can inflict an extremely painful sting. However, they're non aggressive and will only sting in self defense. Males have wings and cannot sting.

saw a cool bug and chased it around to get a photo. found out later it was a velvet ant aka the cow-killer wasp. i'm embarrassed about almost winning a darwin award but i'm more embarrassed i didn't get a better shot...

red velvet ant (d. occidentalis) for day 22 of invertober

despite its common name, the red velvet ant is a species of parasitoid wasp. it is also nicknamed the cow killer due to its extremely painful sting.

Zombie movie more accurate to ant Cordyceps where instead of eating other people you just go up someplace really high and wait to get eaten by a giant cow
