These wasps are male "velvet ants" and they are known in the Southwest US as cowkillers due to the pain of their stings. Cow killer= Deer Killer?


The stinger on bees and wasps is actually a modified ovipositor, hence only found on female bees and wasps. The male velvet ant doesn't have a stinger, but the females sure do. They hurt. Same rule applies to trantula wasps.

Been stung or bit by all sorts of bugs north of the border. Lucky to not having been bitten by any spiders or scorpions. No. :D:D
