Both sexes squeak to warn predators. Velvet ants rub their abdominal segments together, while crickets rub their legs against their abdomen.1

2

North American velvet ant species form one of the most intricate mimicry rings in the natural world, split into eight separate rings of mimicry.1

3

Males find females by smelling pheromones and by following their squeaking sounds. They carry the female in their jaws to a shaded, safe spot to mate.1

4

Females are wingless, a feature shared by all females in the family Mutillidae.1

5

Females are believed to mate only once in their lifetime.1
