Velvet Ants

I’m stumped
Hello,
I found your cool site on the web, but a cursory search of a few of the categories did not turn up anything. Can you help me to identify this guy?: Location: Henry Coe SP, Northern California
About 1 cm long red on both ends, with black in the middle furry moves pretty quickly Thanks!

Hi Chris,
This is a Velvet Ant, a flightless female wasp with a painful sting. We haven’t the time to research the exact species at the moment.
