This wingless wasp is known as a cowkiller ant because, as cows graze in fields they come across these ant, the ant then climbs up the cows nostril in stings the inner sinuses of the cow, causeing severe swelling which blocks the air way and suffocates the cow.
Omg when I was younger I saw like a huge version of this!! It was a lil bigger then this one and it was alot plumper well me being stupid thought it was so cute becuz of it's
Color well don't be fooled they are not harmless I almost touched it but then Mai pop pop told me that they have a really bad bite so I ran
First and foremost they will sting the crap out of you, like a hornet they don't lose their stinger...picked one up when i was a kid in Fayetteville, NC WOW is all i can say. One of my friends cut one in half and picked up the tail end, still got him and in a bad way.
Me and mY friend saw one of these and we had no idea what it was..we thought it was a giant queen red ant haha we kept it in a bucket all the then it couldnt walk when we took it out so we killed it to let it out of its miserY O.o
I was a little prick when I was about 9 or 10 and I took a rock to crush one of these and they're rock hard! Their stings hurt beyond belief though. Worse than bees definitely.
gotta be careful with these things they have a really nasty sting. i was walking around in my driveway bare foot one time and um kinda stepped on one by accident and trust me it hurts like all hell
@MaximumCat "it doesn't rank among the worst" again, who says so? Because Schmidt ignored it? This is not transparent science. It is not objective. Who will volunteer to take stings? After sting from any species, resistance is likely developed, so that to some extent, pain from other future stings is reduced as the chemistry is not fully dissimilar. Therefore, taking bullet ant sting first could reduce effect of other stings later, leading to false conclusion "it's the worst."
when i was a kid i seen this and i dident at the time think it was dangrious but then i tried to pik it up and holy shit that was the worst sting ive evr got
Cow killers are not "relatively small." As far as the sting not ranking among the worst, who says so? Justin Schmidt, a "scientist" who has nothing to say on the matter of other highly reputed species like this one (he also ignores the giant Japanese hornet & the giant cicada killer wasp & the puss caterpillar.) This is to no use. His study fails on neglected aspect fallacies. The cow killer sting is said to be "traumatically painful" site of sting matters & is venom sac really FULL?
So why did the Schmidt Sting Pain index ignore this species? Why did they ignore the Japanese hornet, the giant cicada killer wasp, the Australian bulldog ant, and the notorious puss caterpillar? Ahh!! Because these are as bad or worse than what they discuss. But come on, really, a tarantula hawk sting is much more dangerous than a bullet ant sting, Brazilians take hundreds of stings in a ritual and recover, several of those wasps would push most people out of their bodies!
I got stung by what I think was a smaller relative of a velvet ant when I was a kid. I figured out how to pick ants without getting bitten, but then one day I see this really colorful little ant so I pick it up and...yeooooww! I was like "WTF? I just got stung by an ant!!"
hold one of them down with a stick and listen the fucked up unearthly noise they make.
put a crayfish in the jar and when he grabs the ant with his pincers the ant will sting him in the joint with that long ass stinger she has and the crawfish will flip his tail and the whole arm with fall off the crayfish with a clank
i got stung by one of these guys, only one way to describe it, stick a hot needle in your foot and leave it there for five minutes. I was jumping on one foot and cursing for five straght minutes when i got stung by one of these.
I see these all the time in TX. those little f@$*rs are like transformers! i stepped on them about 10 times (w/ shoes) and they just squeak and twitch a bit then scurry off!
@ImNotHuman100055 i feel bad 4 the ppl who lives near then bc i went to a place and i saw then and i staped on them then and they came back to life. ( all of them started to chase me and is was bad ).
Used to have one of these come around my work every year around June until my A-Hole co-worker intentionally stepped on it to see if he could hear it squeal. Haven't seen one since.
They are very cool looking. Won't bother you if you don' bother it. First I thought Spider, then I thought Ant, Now I know WASP.
its a ant.with a stinger and a armor plating skin. i had to catch one and do a project on it.i tryed to put a needle through it,but i coud'nt because it was so damn tough.
"its a ant" that's incorrect grammar, i'm assuming the two people that gave me bad thumbs are un-educated, like macederrick and you. he should have said "it's an ant" and also "and an armour".
also when he tries to sound smart with "coud'nt" that failed because there's no "l" and the apostraphe is in the wrong place.
ok first of all no one gives a crap. second of all you have no life because no one fights about GRAMMER! and when ppl say 'cause they dont say coz. they say cuz. not an o. EPIC PWN! LOSER!
OK, if you insist, here is the post in corrected form:

This is a video about an insect. This is also YouTube, where incorrect grammar nearly seems to be a cardinal rule of posting. It takes away from the enjoyment of the video and from the comments thread if the comments are riddled with people nitpicking each others' grammar. Sure, I wish that more people here knew how to write. No, I'm not about to correct them all. It's annoying and ultimately futile.
So, essentially, I was pointing out the silliness of people going back and forth, insulting each other over grammatical minutiae, rather than just enjoying the video and making comments about the video itself. Especially when the two combatants both are glaringly incorrect in their "corrections" of each others' grammar, it is all the more silly and annoying. That was the point I was trying to make.
ok, you got him, but the fact is, we can put the first persons maturity to a 5 year old, the second persons maturity to a 14 year old, and your maturity to a grown man who has done some sort of english degree.
When I was young, I was playing a gameboy outside. Then, I felt this little little touch, then I saw what was thought to be a red bee, but now, I know what it is by this video. :D
>.> actually if you look it up they do have a stinger. and if someone is allergic to bees and wasps it can put them into anepalactic shock quick, and actually my uncle was stung by one. he said it felt like 20 or 30 wasps stinging the same spot.
there sting is like idk its not as wors as a bee iv i got stung by 1 8 times i picked it up lol thats b4 i new they stinged there not that bad it turned my hand purple thow
It doesn't actually kill the cow, it crawls into its warm moist ear, but freaks out when it can't get out so it starts stinging the cow.
The cow then freaks out (I am pretty sure I would too) and starts banging its head against a tree to get the bugger out - usually knocking itself cold.
The name "Cow Killer Ant" was given to the velvet ant because of the reputation of the female's sting. It is said that the sting is so painful that it could kill a cow.
Caught one in central NC today myself. Its the first time I have seen one since I was a child. Took it home so my wife (who had never seen one or even heard of them) could see it.
i second that... we found an orange one and it survived for three days, including an extreme temperature. My daughter forgot and left the bottle in the car on a scorcher of a day.
ive gotten bitten by a velvet ant it was hanging on my skin!!! it hurt bad it was hanging on me with its teethe things but i believe those red and black antes r painfull!!!!!
i hate these things the actually make weird noises when i lived in nc i found ond s stopped it with a stick on its back and it really squealed like a pig plus the have retractable stingers that are long and black(SHINY BLACK) and the hurt but not as bad as a wood wasp
fricken scary!. God, where i am the only hrmfl ant is the red ant, and i have gotten attacked by many at once, does hurt alot, but no other type. So is the Saifur biffer than this ant or not. because i herd both. Is this the most dangerous or is the bull ant? confused :I
used to keep one of these as a pet! I fed him slices of watermelon. He loved it. He made a cool sound. His name was sparky. One day I came home and he had gotten out of his fishbowl. I didnt sleep for two days! then I sound him dead. I was sad... but relieved he didnt get me.
this is the female Mutillidae, a species of wingless wasp, they are non-agressive, but if threatened they will deliver an extremely painful sting, they have very hard exo-skeletons to protect them from the stings of other insects whose nests they invade, if encountered, it is best to leave them alone, but if they must be removed, use something hard to crush them, they can sting through thinly soled shoes, and can sustain a human step with little or no damage.
i just went through basic training at Ft.Benning, GA. These little big bastards are everywhere, and they are damn near indestructable. Takes many stomps with combat boots to kill.
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!

Velvet ants are not aggressive and will try to escape from you. The females
have a very painful sting if handled. The name "Cow Killer Ant" was given to
the velvet ant because of the reputation of the female's sting. It is said that the
sting is so painful that it could kill a cow. It's a good idea NOT to harm them !!
because: they lay their eggs on the HUGE burrowing cicada killer wasp cocoons!!

As several have stated, this is indeed not an ant, but a wasp.

fricken scary!. God, where i am the only hrmfl ant is the red ant, and i have gotten attacked by many at once, does hurt alot, but no other type. So is the Saifur biffer than this ant or not. because i herd both. Is this the most dangerous or is the bull ant? confused :I

no the jumper ant is the most dangerous has neurotoxins that jolt you a put you in a shock and can kill you if not treated fast enough

They are extremely tough I had one on cement and stomping on it with normal shoes doesn't work at all. I had to hit it like 10 times with large rock.

used to keep one of these as a pet! I fed him slices of watermelon. He loved it. He made a cool sound. His name was sparky. One day I came home and he had gotten out of his fishbowl. I didnt sleep for two days! then I sound him dead. I was sad... but relieved he didnt get me.

this is the female Mutillidae, a species of wingless wasp, they are non-agressive, but if threatened they will deliver an extremely painful sting, they have very hard exo-skeletons to protect them from the stings of other insects whose nests they invade, if encountered, it is best to leave them alone, but if they must be removed, use something hard to crush them, they can sting through thinly soled shoes, and can sustain a human step with little or no damage.

Nice, I caught one years ago (carefully!). I haven't seen one since then, but they are indeed beautiful little dangerous things.

i just went through basic training at Ft.Benning, GA. These little big bastards are everywhere, and they are damn near indestructable. Takes many stomps with combat boots to kill.

Careful, they pack a hell of a wallop. Burning, swelling, blistering pain. Their beutiful though, and their bright orange color screams STAY AWAY!
