I just saw what appears to be a red velvet ant in my yard in Williamsburg, VA, near Jamestown Settlement. I have never seen such an insect and was searching the internet to see what it was.
I also found one in Lynchburg, VA today. It was the first time I had ever seen one. From my understanding VA does not seem to have the climate that these insects normally inhabit, but they have been spotted.
