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

Gaano ito kapanganib sa tao?

Panganib sa tao: MasakitTalagang masakit, pero halos hindi kailanman malala.

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

Ano ang ginagawa nito kapag natatakot?

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

Kung tumusok ito

  • Kayurin palabas ang naiwang pantusok ng bubuyog at palamigin ang lugar.
  • Kung nahihirapang huminga ang tao, namamaga ang mukha o lalamunan, o parang hihimatayin, ito ay emergency sa allergy: tawagan ang numero pang-emergency at gamitin ang adrenaline pen niya kung mayroon siya.

Laging tawagan muna ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911). Ito ay pangkalahatang gabay sa pangunang lunas, hindi payong medikal. Mga batayan ng pangunang lunas

Mag-ingat

  • Huwag kailanman hawakan, hulihin o asarin ang ligaw na hayop, kahit maliit, at kahit mukha itong tulog o patay.
  • Bigyan ito ng espasyo. Kung makasalubong ka ng isa, manatiling kalmado, dahan-dahang umatras at hayaan itong umalis.
  • Kung tusukin ka ng isa: manatiling kalmado, huwag gumalaw, tawagan ang numero pang-emergency (112, 000, 911) o pumunta agad sa ospital. Tandaan ang itsura nito, makakatulong ang litrato.

Hindi ka nito hinahabol. Ginagamit nito ang kamandag para manghuli ng pagkain o ipagtanggol ang sarili, at mas gusto pa nitong magtago. Higit pa tungkol sa pag-iingat

Mga fact

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

Myth buster

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

Totoo: 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
