Red Velvet Ant


Ever come across one of these critters? I did the other day when I moved a flower pot. It scurried out of a hole in the ground and then across the grass. So of course, I ran inside and grabbed my camera! Turns out it is called a Red Velvet and (or Cow Killer ant), but it is not an ant!
So, if it's not an ant, but it is called an ant, and it runs like an ant, then what is it?

Go ahead and Google it if you want to or just go to this link.

By the way, this insect does not really kill cows, although its sting hurts so much that it feels like it would kill a cow!
