Plants And Animals That We Shouldn't Ever Touch

Posted by Bill Rippel on February 01, 2022 - 12:48am


45. Eastern Velvet Ants

Okay, we need to clear something up here. Even though the name would suggest otherwise, eastern velvet ants aren’t actually ants. Instead, they’re colorful wasps that pack a monstrous sting capable of doing real harm. That’s how the bugs got their ominous “Cow Killer” nickname! Bearing that in mind, touching them is a big no-no.

Corneliu Boghian thanks for sharing

Simon Keighley The Eastern Velvet Ant, or wasp, look highly dangerous - thanks for the warning not to touch them, Bill - great info.

Charles Phillips The eastern velvet ant reminds me of a red and black velvety ant that my friends and I saw regularly as a children in North Carolina. We knew it was too large to be an ant so we avoided it. Also,the ant did not have the tapered bottom like the eastern velvet ant in the picture, though
