Velvet AntsArizona insect
I was recently in Arizona and while in the Flagstaff area I came across this bug and was wondering if you could help me identify it. I have tried looking online but can ‘t find anything like it. Thank you for your time,
Dawn Webb
Hi Dawn,
This is a flightless female wasp known as a Velvet Ant. We believe it is Dasymutilla klugii based on an image on BugGuide.
Update: (04/02/2008) ID for insects
