Saw this velvet ant about a half hour ago. Not real common as I only see two or three every year. This one was big as far as velvet ants go....a little over an inch long...and it can move pretty fast...had a tough time getting pics as it was moving at a good clip. The wife wanted to pick it up and I yelled at her...she had no idea how bad their sting is. After taking pics, I came in the house and googled velvet ants, then showed her the part about their sting. She doesn’t have a high pain tolerance and there is no doubt I would’ve been taking her to the ER.
