Velvet AntsTiger like ant?
I found this guy in my yard. He is about an inch or a little more long. I have searched and searched but can’t find out what it is. Can you help? Thank you.

Hi Carla,
Your ant is actually a flightless female wasp known as a Velvet Ant or Cow Killer. The sting is reported to be very painful.
