The whistling thorn has a symbiotic relationship with ants. The ants will defend the tree by biting the herbivores who try and eat it, and in return, the tree allows the ants to live in its dead thorns. If no herbivore comes by, and the ants are proving useless, the tree will stop its supply of necter that the ants drink, and shrink the thorns they live in
ants do not have any scales

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 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).
The males are stingless, the females are wingless.
Yes, they will slowly savage you to death (:
