Thistledown velvet ant
KudungwaThe 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
Jinsi ya kumtambua
- 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
Mara nyingi huchanganywa 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
Nguvu ya sumu
Sumu hutoka kupitia mdungo.
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: InaumaInaweza kuuma sana, lakini karibu kamwe si jambo zito.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
Hufanya nini akiogopa?
Females use their sting to defend themselves when threatened.1
Akidunga
- Kwangua mwiba wa nyuki na upoze mahali hapo.
- Mtu akipata shida ya kupumua, uso au koo likivimba, au akijisikia kuzimia, hiyo ni dharura ya mzio: piga namba ya dharura na umtumie kalamu yake ya adrenalini kama anayo.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ukweli
Its females are camouflaged to look like Creosotebush fruit, instead of using the bright warning colours common to other velvet ants.1
Its colouring seems to be mainly an adaptation to hot desert conditions, not a defence against predators.1
Its internal and external body temperatures are lower than those of orange Dasymutilla species living in the same habitat.1
Its sting is stronger than those of most smaller velvet ants, but weaker than those of most larger ones.1
Like other velvet ants, only the wingless females have the sting used for defence.1
