It is similar to a bee/wasp sting. People who are allergic to bee/wasp stings may have a more severe reaction than most of us and should avoid them. Treatment for a velvet ant sting is the same as for any typical bee/wasp sting.
If you are allergic to the acid they use then you could die from anaphylactic shock.
yes. And it hurts. It's also not a ant. It's a wingless female wasp I think.
when an ant bites us an acid called formic acid is released. this can be cured by neautralizing it, by applying calamine solution.
if its alive it well eat u inside lol
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.
Squash it!
Red velvet ant also known as cow killer. It's not an ant but a wingless female wasp.
Velvet Ant!
Yes it does. Like baby lepords
only a red ants bite hurts
It could be a velvet ant, which is actually a flightless wasp. If it is furry, orange and black it is a velvet ant. These ants can provide a painful sting that lasts for hours so avoid them. If it looks like a small black ant, only orange, it is probably just a red ant.

Yes they can,it's usually a white pimple with a little redness. It could also be just a white bump with redness. I have actually got bitten by a black ant and now it's just a white bump with redness around it. The good thing about getting bitten by a black ant is that their bites/ stings don't hurt as much as the red ant or fire ants bites/ stings.
This seems like it may be a male Velvet Ant, or Cow Killer, since the males have wings but the females do not.
The Red Velvet Ant belongs to the family Mutillidae. The average life span of an individual in the wild is a few weeks.
they fall over if it is a red ants they will bite you.
