What is a "velvet ant"?

A velvet ant, despite its name, is not a true ant but rather a species of wasp. It gets its name from the dense and velvety hair covering its body. Velvet ants are known for their bright and striking colors, often displaying shades of red, orange, or yellow. They are solitary insects and the females are wingless, while the males have wings. Velvet ants are capable of delivering a painful sting, and their bright coloration serves as a warning to potential predators.
