The males are stingless, the females are wingless.
Velvet is a woven fabric where the softness comes from weaving cut threads evenly throughout the fabric. If you magnify it, it winds up looking a bit like shag carpeting. The original velvet fabrics were made for nobility from very soft materials like Cashmere wool. Silk is also used to make very expensive types of velvet since the fibers are so soft but also tough. You can get velvet made from these kind of exotic natural materials, but most natural-fiber velvet is now made with cotton. Velvet can also be made from synthetic fibers, but may not be quite as soft as that made from natural fibers.
Ants are primarily omnivores, eating both plants and animals if possible. There are certain types of ants, such as the odontamachus, which are carnivorous, and leaf cutter ants, which are herbivores.

red velvet ants also known as killer cows have 6 legs
velvet ants (actually a wasp) are predators of bumble bees
Despite their popular name, velvet ants are not true ants but in fact belong to a family of parasitic wasps called Mutillidae. Female velvet ants are equipped with a very power stinger and the sting can be extraordinarily painful.
This could be one of several different species of velvet ants. Velvet ants look like ants but are actually part of the hornet family. This could be a Dasymutilla klugi.
they live in sandy areas.
yes
They are a type of wingless wasp. The females are wingless anyway. They are in the family Mutillidae, in case you want to look them up. But common names are misleading and often nonsensical. A lot of the questions posted about "red velvet ants" seem to be dealing with real ants, so-called "velvety ants" and that is another matter. But real velvet ants are wasps other than ants (which actually are wasps of sorts as well, but never ind that for now).
Yes, they will slowly savage you to death (:

The Velvet Ant is a wasp not an ant. Females are wingless and covered with hair and strongly resemble ants. The red velvet ant is the largest velvet ant species at 3/4 of an inch long.
