  • i picked one up when i was 5 with not so fun results

  • I dunno if it's really that deadly, but it sounds adorable.

  • That brings back memories. As a kid growing up in Texas, that was one of the countless critters we used to play with. I knew it was a wingless wasp. Actually, there is another ant that was about half that size that also had some white bands, too, and we called it a "cow ant". I used to pick them up by the sides (like you do with a crawdad), till one day, it whipped that ridiculously long stinger around and right into my thumb! Ouch! I'll never forget that sound they make. Thanks for posting!

  • Thats one nasty stinger!

  • Translation for the cow: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO­OOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

  • should have killed it

  • Those damn things hurt extremely bad... one got me good at the age of 7... and it sounded just like this one in the video... That has got to be an ant from the devil!

  • Now translating that squeaking from Velvet Antese to English...

    "Hey! HEY! Stupid f***ker! Get that god damn pen *away from me!* I mean it, bro, I'm NOT having a good day..."

    And later: "WHY YOU GOD DAMN STUPID (string of very colorful swearwords)!!!!"

  • there called cow killers because when a cow is eating grass and has one of them craw up the nose it swings its stinger like a whip all around its nose. and the stings swell up and block the air passage (cows cant breath through there mouths) and the cows die from lack of air

  • That stinger is too damn big.

  • I love to pick up longhorned beetles and listen to that funny sound they make - it's a lot like this one :D

  • I moved to GA from PA about 5 years ago & found one of these in the yard. I had no idea what it was, so I caught it & brought it in the house to look it up online. When I found out what it was my mom yelled at me to get it out of the house, lol. I saw it several times after that and it always chased me. We recently moved to NC & we found one in the yard right after we moved in.

  • @sweetcat113 "and it always chased me."

    Sounds to me like you found the Rambo of Velvet Ants.

  • They are really neat creatures. One time my kids caught one and I had never seen one. My kids said, "Mommy he's talking to us." And I thought my kids had watched too many cartoons! Then I heard it "talking." It turned out to be a great "pet." You can keep them for about a year, sometimes two. They like jelly and water (other sweets too). You can't hold them, but you can observe them and give them things to climb and air. We must have had males, because they didn't have a stinger like that.

  • @callingwhodat Male ones have wings but no stingers. If it didnt have wings then it might have been a similar but different species.

  • im scared to put my feet on the ground

  • i was stung by one hurt for couple minutes then was gone

  • Oh.. unfortunate it kills cow only I guess..

  • NO way!! this thing can killed a cow? right!?... holy smack! I got sting by this funny looking ant/wasp when I was a kid Q _Q.. or least bitting I think.

  • KILLL THEE FUCCKINNG HELL WASP!!!

  • It sounds like a little tiny gattling gun...

  • you should let it go

  • @MrAntfreak If you watched the whole video they say they released it smart one.

  • It makes such a cute sound ^-^

  • @MrLosBurritos It does, sounds like a buzz lightyear spin toy I used to have ^___^, but it's stinger's deadlier than DARKNESS O_____O.

  • I found a small ( 3/8ths inch) brick red one of these when I was like 14 years old, but I never picked it up thank goodnes. It was in northern california and I never saw one again. I was use to seeing poison wasps, hornets, spiders, bee's, fire ants and snakes but this lill critter was unlike anything I had seen in the woods b4. curious lill fuckers all furry and shit.

  • 0:01

  • Hardest thing to kill.

  • Welcome to youtube, where sexism is mentioned in the comments below a video having to do with ants.

  • where are you guys from, so i can avoid ever going there

  • @drasislotharian i used to live in Forney, Texas and i got bit by those thing maybe 3 times.. honestly dont ever go to texas if you hate... Spiders, Cow Ants, and snakes.. hope i helped

  • @TheChrispyDubstep Thank you, I'd go to Houston but I don't know about forney :p, but thanks for the fact and I hope to God you're ok.

  • @joejar5 houston is always humid very les will insects like this one in the video show up.. a bunch of lizards and flys but they wont bother you.. and im ok we had to move though because of buissness and i was so happy.. my sister got stung too she cried like a bitch.. i admit i tried to hold it in

  • @TheChrispyDubstep LOL that's cool and I'm glad, although don't agree at all with you calling your sister a bitch :/, sorry man really not trying to be judge mental but I just don't agree with woman being called names like that and whore and slut at all. Just letting you know in all honesty PLEASE trust me dude I'm NOT religious nor self righteous but I just know that there are certain words you shouldn't call women, people in general actually even though it does unfortunately and sadly happen.

  • @joejar5 she cried like a bitch meaning she cried alot... so good luck.. have fun where you are and keep god with you

  • @TheChrispyDubstep WOA dude I wasn't trying to push on you alright, I TRULY meant what I said I wasn't MAD or ANNOYED or ANYTHING :O, REALLY. I'm genuine I really don't think like that man it's not like that. I just REALLY don't think that bitch should be used to refer to ANY woman, not man or child either. Sorry if I offended you :(, much Love, God bless and good night.

  • @joejar5 you took it the wrong way.. i mean have fun seriously and may god be with you.. internet has no tone of voice.. have good luck.. meaning good luck..i'm not mad

  • @TheChrispyDubstep It's cool ;D, yeah I have trouble telling when someones serious or kidding at times that's my bad I'm just really sensitive. I'm still working on it, have a good one, and again God bles.

  • @joejar5 dont worry about it bro.. its ok im not mad.. so hav ea great day man:)

  • @TheChrispyDubstep I ain't mad atcha bro, just being straight up. Other than that thanks for telling me, and I LOVE lizards, the devil horned lizard is one of my favorites and I long to hold it in my hands. Flies are of course no bother lol I'll just swat them away and let them fly off or spray them when they're too many in a house of mine, or just let'em out ya know not hurt'em at all. It sounds like a good enviroment thx. Have a blessed one in Jesus Christ(Yahshua) and good night man.

  • @kectorer Ha, This Guy...

  • I used to hunt these....but then i took an arrow to the knee

  • @333kevster More like a sting to the knee

  • damn so thats why they hurt so bad :l damn they sting/burn like hell and my friend got his foot stung like twice by one >:l painfull

  • Dude, I was stung by one of those when I was a kid. You know when you see an ant, and you can put your finger on it and laugh because it cant get away? Well yeah. I tried that with this fucker and he stung me. Dude, that shit hurt SOOO BAD.

  • So THAT'S what these things are. I grew up in the desert seeing "red, hair ants" having no clue what they really were.

  • thats ironic.... females' stings are stronger ut have no wings

  • KILL IT KILL IT WITH FIRE

  • the end made me laugh

  • this makes me wanna pick my feet up off the floor.

  • @Boatright17 lol i do to

  • Kill it with fire then dance on the ashes!

  • @Oldarmydude1 i found a bed of them a few years ago and i literally naplmed it drenched it in gasoline and shot it with a 12 gauge at least 15 times.

  • Hate those things.

  • thats not a stinger thats its cock

  • now i know when i hear that i gotta blast

  • it sounds so cute c: *squeak squeak squeak*

  • i thought it was fake BUT IT WAS REAL!

  • You can tell this isn't an ant by the antenna, ants have elbowed antenna and man that thing is nasty!

  • @tyandash666 Yeh, technically they are wasps (I believe) but they hurt like almighty FUCK

  • WOW! HYOOOGE stinger! Damn, man, that's just...wow. I've seen these, and had no idea what they were? But I knew all too well that bright, pretty colors in the wild means "DO NOT TOUCH!", so I didn't mess with it. Thank God I didn't!

  • Can I order some :D! I think I know what kind of weapon I want to have on me in case some idiot decides to mug me. I'll be all like, "Take this shit BITCH! *throws the velvet ants on his face*...suck on that!, I'm out yo! see ya xD"

  • Damn I didn't realise those mofos had such big ass stingers!

  • Man I've seen two before, or at least I think I have, and they scared the heck outta me dad said they had a painful sting.

  • damn nature you scary

  • I got stung by one of these and it rotted a small area of flesh away... not to mention hurt like fuck

  • We have large cow killers in our front yard during the summer. I've stomped them on a paved driveway and it doesn't even phase them. Tough little buggers! If you get stung by one, you'll never forget it! It doesn't burn like a yellow jacket or giant hornet; It pulsates and it's excruciating!

  • ohh so thats what these things are called i remember touching it and all the sudden my finger just hurting like mad i didnt even see the stinger

  • KILL IT WITH FUCKING FIRE!!!

    IT SOUNDS CREEPY AS HELL!

  • @herbienbrian2 insects are the creepy things of the planet

  • @herbienbrian2 It's a cool and beautiful animal that has no interest in attacking people. You're a whiny little shit and should be punched in the face.

  • @Scythemantis thats what i wanted to tell him...

  • Good !

    Now i know how to use my flamethrower!

  • A Female ant huh? I guess they are noisy same are Human female..

  • @lorf151 just cause your on the internet doesn't mean you have to resort to sexisim

  • @smokeweed442200 I do say that in real life too anyway not only in internet. Females that i know even agrees with me and in psychology it is true that girl does talk alot. This is what the girls told me, Female problem is Female. High five now pce out

  • @smokeweed442200 Just cause you're on the internet, doesn't mean you can go around telling people what they shouldn't do. Nice name btw. How many brain cells do you have left?

  • @EpicHaxThriller first of all you sexist hater i'm not telling them what to do i'm simply saying that you should not use sexist or racist comments on the internet and if you disagree with me you are one of the two

  • @smokeweed442200 Lulwat? When did I ever say I was sexist or even IMPLY that I was? And if I disagree with you I'm a sexist or racist? See. You are retarded. You're not even making the slightest bit of sense. Go get an education and some brain cells dumbass. THEN you can come and respond. Until, piss off.

  • @EpicHaxThriller then why do you defend someting sexist on the internet? and besides being sexist is just as bad as being racist now i'm not saying you racist but don't defend someting sexist

  • @smokeweed442200 I'm not defending the sexism. I'm defending his right to express what he wants. It's called freedom of speech, have you ever heard of it? Even if you don't agree with his opinions, that doesn't mean he's not allowed to voice them. If you don't respect the fact that people have the right to say what they please, than people aren't going to respect what you have to say. Simple as that.

  • @EpicHaxThriller freedom of speech doesnt cover ANY kind of discrimination.... read up before you try and sound clever.

  • @smokeweed442200

    You sound retarded.

  • dayum

  • ants are in fact in the same family as wasps, they just evolved to not have wings and rely more on numbers.

  • @metalraider187 Velvet Ants ar Wasps.It's female,wingless.Males had wings.

  • Comment removed

  • blah, I sat on the ground and put my hand on one of these on vacation and it stung me :l didn't feel too nice.

  • If these did have wings, I'd cry.

  • We caled these sponge ants in basic cause there's no fuckin way to kill em except with a blank

  • @Coricans hooah

  • how about the grey velvet ant

  • foo that stinger is like 1/4 inch if ur lucky

  • omfg.... thats atleast a 2 inch stinger!

  • Oh man those are some amazing (and kind of scary) insects! I saw my first one down in SouthHaven Mississippi on my friend's driveway. It was a beautiful red and black color. I was like "OMGGGG there's like this ant/bee thing on your driveway!!" My friend stomped on it before I could get more of a look at it and I got an immediate whiff of nectar. It was wild!! Haven't seen one since.

  • i got stung by a baby with its stinger that bitch was the worst pain i had a swollen finger up to twice the size of my other ones and it bit right on my nail and my nail fell off omg what a bitch i killed it after it bit me

  • That noise is horrible!!!!

  • Used to see those in my neighborhood, guess all the other ants ran them out.

  • I would hate to fuck with those.

  • i had military boots on..stomped the shit out of it and walked off like a man....i made a 7 inch deep hole ..and i just walked away lol..

  • CTFxC

  • I TRIED to kill one once, it was impossible to kill... Everything I used to try to kill it broke. (mostly sticks) Good thing I didnt try tp step on it because I didnt know it had a stinger. O_O"""

  • dont torture it

  • @UsihaChi oh shut the hell up and grow some balls pussy

  • @lolwut31 One,I apologize for my little brothers comment,two, you shouldn't even be insulting someone like that. And three and for most it's his opinion/statement. If he wants to say, "Don't torture it." Let him. I'm sick of seeing youtubers go after someone just because they say something they don't agree with,it's irritating. Now good day to you sir.

  • @UsihaChi and i'm sick of YouTubers saying "sorry about my little brothers comment" when they get called out on shit. Own up to your comments before you start preaching at people. Good day sir.

  • @skrilldawg To be fair, it's not always bullshit. My sister did a comment with my account a few times, since I don't usually bother to log out.

  • @skrilldawg yea, my sister will sometimes get on my computer, forget to log me out and comment on some Justin Bieber BS and crap. It can happen, though not as often as it seems to be happening here

  • Nature.. you're fucked up -_-

  • What a bunch of pussies. I've never had difficulty stepping on one.

  • 1 question, did u kill it?

  • I just killed one yesterday and dropped it in a fire ant mound, where it was quickly dismembered. Nasty little thing.

  • My cousin found one of these ants and named it Charlot.

  • u see that DICK son u see that U GONNA GET IT !

  • was it trying to sting or pick a lock!?!?!?

  • Comment removed

  • I am so not jealous about where all you guys live!

  • I see them things all the time every summer around here

  • wtf is that squeaking sound???

  • @doom2sgt She's calling to her male wasps to come and sting the shit out of you...not joking...

  • I have this little guys at my house,OMG they are so hard to kill!!!!I skirted it down with a water hose and it dident die!

  • @asomeman1223 yeah i saw one in my friends yard had to step on it 500 times to kill it

  • yea i remember these.. saw them all the time running across the yard. they make squealing sounds when u piss them off, and can sting the ever loving shit out of you

  • i would laugh if it stung its self

  • these bastards are nearly impossible to kill. for our high school "bug collection" required project shit. these were "bonus points" being rare as they were. but i found one and could NOT get the pin to go through its thorax to put on the styrofoam. i shoved and pushed and sweated on it and when it finally DID poke through, it slammed through suddenly and made a large POW sound. it was creepy. and dont hate me hate the alabama education system.

  • @r0bz1ll4 LOL!

  • @r0bz1ll4 Row Tyde

  • @r0bz1ll4 Yes I understand what you mean Mutillids tend to have very hard exoskeletons I tried pinning one once and it broke apart :(... but if you think that's bad, you should try pinning an ironclad beetle (Zopherus) I've heard you need a drill to get a pin through those guys! :O ALso they are popular in certain cultures.. because of their though outer shell some people use them as jewellery and put gems on them as wear them as broaches...

  • Good luck with the gun straaler the big ones are hard to kill lol. i'm 195lbs ans i stomped on a BIG one and it looked at me like i was stupid.
