This! is a very dangerous ant. Meet the Velvet ant. They despite their name, are not true ants but are actually solitary wasps belonging to the Mutillidae family. Found worldwide, they are recognized by their striking appearance: a dense, velvety and brightly colored exoskeleton. Females possess a powerful stinger, making them one of the few wasps dangerous to humans. Males are usually winged and less formidable. Often called "cow killers" due to their painful sting, they primarily prey on other insects and lay eggs in their host's nests. Velvet ants play an essential role in controlling insect populations, but their unique beauty and painful sting make them intriguing subjects of study and observation.
