Velvet ants, also known as cow killers, possess a potent sting that can be extremely painful, but they are not lethal to humans. While their sting can cause significant discomfort and allergic reactions in some individuals, there are no documented cases of velvet ants causing human fatalities. Generally, these insects are more of a concern due to their painful sting rather than any lethal potential. It's always best to exercise caution and avoid handling them.

But real velvet ants are wasps other than ants (which actually are wasps of sorts as well, but never ind that for now).
