Описание к видео holding a cow killer, aka red velvet ant

It is important to be very gentle when handling these. You CAN simply let it crawl on you, but if you try to grab it or pick it up, you lose. They make a low squeaking sound before they start whipping out the 1/2 inch stinger. It is considered the 4th worst sting in the insect world
species: Dasymutilla magnifica
females have stingers, males have wings. velvet ants are actually solitary wasps, not true ants
