A few years ago, my friends and coworkers Anthony and Aaron were out in the desert when they spotted a velvet ant. This flightless wasp is cute and fuzzy as I scurries about the desert floor. Anthony said: “I think I can pick it up without being stung” and he reached down to grab the insect. Aaron says a long, drawn out “Noooooooooooo!!!!!!”
For a picture of the velvet ant stinging over its own shoulder, check out this great post about velvet ants.
And yes, I too have felt their wrath.
