Velvet AntsWhat the Heck?!
Hi again.
My daughter saw this bug running across our driveway this afternoon and I saw one yesterday in a totally different part of our yard (we have 4 acres). We saw some last year too. It looks like a huge, furry, red ant?! It was about 1 1⁄2 -2 inches long and I didn’t want to kill it to take a picture and had a hard time keeping the camera on him…running around too fast. It really is a good looking and vibrant bug. We live in Winston-Salem , North Carolina .
Cheers,
E Smith
Hi E.,
We recently created a Velvet Ant page especially for these flightless female wasps that are also known as Cow Killers because of their painful sting.
