Velvet Ant
Hi. I am quite squeamish about some bugs but fascinated with others and am enjoying your page! We found this little beauty in the garage after my 3 year old daughter said “Look Mommy! A Ladybug Ant!” We caught her snapped a few pictures then released her out by the trees.
Thanks!

Your Velvet Ant is actually a flightless female wasp.  Because of her painful sting, she also goes by the common name of Cow Killer.
