The large velvet ant is not really an ant. It is a wasp, and the females have no wings and look like fuzzy ants. It lives in parts of Europe, Asia and North Africa, in heaths, moors, grasslands and woodland. Its sting is painful, but it is not aggressive.1

Živi v
Most of Europe, east to China, Central Asia, the Middle East and North Africa. In Great Britain, mainly the south and east, and recently as far north as Aberdeenshire.1

Domov
It lives in heaths, moors, chalk grassland and woodland. In England it is most closely linked to lowland heaths, where females are often seen running across sandy paths.1

Kaj je?
The larvae are parasitoids that eat the pupae of bumblebees, and occasionally honeybees, inside the host nest. Adults feed on nectar, and on the honey stores of host bees.1

Kako jo prepoznaš

  • Males are dark red on the tip of the mandibles (jaws) and on the thorax.1
  • The first and second segments of the abdomen have bands of long silver bristles.1
  • The tip of the abdomen and much of the body are covered in long black bristles.1
  • Females have a red mesonotum (the upper middle part of the thorax) and silver-spotted flanks along the abdomen.1
  • Some males are completely black, and colour varies between individuals.1

Moč strupa

Piki

Strup pride ven skozi želo.

Kaj naredi njen strup, ko ugrizne ali piči?

The sting is painful. Its venom is much less toxic than the venom of a honeybee.1

Kako nevarna je za ljudi?

Nevarnost za ljudi: BolečeLahko zelo boli, a skoraj nikoli ni resno.

The wasp is not aggressive and only stings people when handled. Its sting is painful but less toxic than a honeybee's.1

Kaj naredi, ko se prestraši?

When threatened, it stridulates by rubbing a raised structure called the plectrum over ridges on its abdomen, which makes a sound.1

Če piči

  • Čebelje želo postrgaj ven in mesto ohladi.
  • Če ima poškodovanec težave z dihanjem, otekel obraz ali grlo ali se mu vrti, kot da bo omedlel, gre za nujno stanje zaradi alergije: pokliči številko za klic v sili in uporabi njegov adrenalinski avtoinjektor, če ga ima.

Vedno najprej pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911). To so splošna navodila za prvo pomoč, ne zdravniški nasvet. Osnove prve pomoči

Ostani varen

  • Nikoli se ne dotikaj divje živali, je ne lovi in je ne draži, tudi če je majhna in tudi če je videti, kot da spi ali je mrtva.
  • Pusti ji prostor. Če jo srečaš, ostani miren, počasi stopi nazaj in jo pusti, da gre svojo pot.
  • Če te piči: ostani miren, ne premikaj se, pokliči številko za klic v sili (112, 000, 911) ali hitro pojdi v bolnišnico. Zapomni si, kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaga.

Ne preži nate. Strup uporablja, da ulovi hrano ali se zaščiti, in se veliko raje skrije. Več o varnosti

Dejstva

1

Their thick, armoured skin is so strong that related species in North America have been reported to escape from the mouths of lizards and frogs.1

2

Females can sneak into the nests of paper wasps and steal their food stores, possibly because they can disguise their scent so the paper wasps cannot detect them.1

3

The size of the adult wasp depends partly on the size of its host: wasps raised in honeybees are smaller than those raised in bumblebees.1

4

Females are wingless, but males have wings.1

5

Males die soon after emerging in autumn, while females hibernate over winter, sometimes in the host nest or at the roots of low plants.1

Razbijalec mitov

Mit: The nickname "cow killer" means the sting can kill cows.

Resnica: The nickname is inappropriate. Its sting is painful, but its venom is much less toxic than a honeybee's, and it is not aggressive.1
