Ever seen a bright red “ant” crawling in your yard? 🐜
Don’t be fooled — it’s not an ordinary ant! It’s a Velvet Ant, also called the Cow Killer Wasp. Despite the name, this insect isn’t an ant at all — it’s actually a wingless wasp known for its painful sting ⚡
🕷️ Where they live:
They prefer dry, sandy areas — like gardens, lawns, and under stones.
😨 Why they’re a problem:
Their sting can cause severe pain, and they may appear near homes often during warmer months.
✅ What you can do:
Keep your yard clean and sealed, and if you spot one, don’t touch it!
