Used to see these years ago while growing up on our family farm, caught this one to give her 30 seconds of fame.

  • 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

  • @magicspark95 lol

  • 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!

  • @sweetcat113 "and it always chased me."

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

  • 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)!!!!"
