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

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

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

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

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

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

Òtítọ́

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

Olùfọ́ àròsọ

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

Òtítọ́: 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
