The thistledown velvet ant is a mid-sized member of the Dasymutilla genus, a group known as velvet ants. Its females have no wings and live in hot deserts in the south-western United States and northern Mexico. Females can deliver a very painful sting, so it is best to leave them alone.1

Uko wayimenya

  • Only the females are wingless.1
  • It is mid-sized for a velvet ant, larger than some of the smallest species but smaller than some of the largest.1
  • Females are camouflaged. They look like the fruit of the Creosotebush rather than having the bright warning colours seen in many other velvet ants.1

Ikunze kwitiranywa na: Unlike the orange Dasymutilla species found in the same habitat, this species does not use bright orange or warning colours. Its camouflage helps it blend into the desert plants around it.1

Akaga ku bantu: IrababazaIshobora kubabaza cyane, ariko hafi ya buri gihe nta kibazo gikomeye biteza.

Females can deliver a very painful sting when threatened. Its sting is more powerful than those of most smaller velvet ants, but weaker than those of most larger ones.1

Ikora iki iyo ifite ubwoba?

Females use their sting to defend themselves when threatened.1

Niba itera urubori

  • Kuramo urubori rw'uruyuki uruharura, kandi ukonjeshe aho rwateye.
  • Niba umuntu ahumeka bimugoye, akabyimba mu maso cyangwa mu muhogo, cyangwa akumva agiye guta ubwenge, ni ikibazo cyihutirwa cya aleriji: hamagara nimero y'ubutabazi kandi ukoreshe urushinge rwe rwa adrenaline (adrenaline pen) niba arufite.

Buri gihe banza uhamagare nimero y'ubutabazi (112, 000, 911). Izi ni inama rusange z'ubutabazi bw'ibanze, si inama za muganga. Ibanze by'ubutabazi bw'ibanze

Ntigushakisha ngo ikugirire nabi. Ikoresha ubumara bwayo kugira ngo ifate ibyo kurya cyangwa yirinde, kandi ikunda cyane kwihisha. Ibindi ku kwirinda
