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

Sitya ntoni?

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

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ukuhlaba

Ityhefu iphuma ngenaliti yokuhlaba.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

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

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

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

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

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

Ukuba siyahlaba

Krwela inaliti yenyosi uyikhuphe uze upholise indawo.
Ukuba umntu uphefumla kanzima, ubuso okanye umqala wakhe uyadumba, okanye uziva ngathi uza kufa isiqaqa, yimeko kaxakeka ye-aleji: tsalela inombolo kaxakeka kwaye usebenzise ipeni yakhe ye-adrenaline ukuba unayo.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba siyakuhlaba: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.

Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

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

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

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

Females are wingless, but males have wings.1

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

Umqhekezi weentsomi

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

Inyaniso: 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
