Most Mutillidae (velvet ants) live in the warmer parts of the planet, and mainly in fairly dry areas. Some of them live in nearly desert areas. They must live in places where they will find insects on which their young can feed and grow. These prey (or host) insects have their own habitats, so the Mutillidae must be adapted to where their particular hosts live, on which their larvae can feed. Most of the hosts are bees or wasps, while other kinds of velvet ants need caterpillars, beetles, cockroaches and a few other types of insects. Whatever the habitat of the host, the velvet ant must be able to live in the same habitat, usually sandy dry areas with suitable plant life.
