I tried crushing it with a cap to a drink and it pretends to be dead, when it notices you arent paying attention(it sounds wierd but this is what i observed) it slowly starts moving and the body slowly fills out, when i thought that it was in a slightly differant area of the plate i put it on while looking it up, i watched it for a minute and it didnt move. A minute later i looked back and it had moved a about 6 inches, and as soon as i looked it stopped (it was like we were playing red light, green light... i won) I crushed it with the cap again, but it once again started to move after a minute or 2. What you need to do is when u crush it with something twist while crushing (it grinds it) He(actually it was the female-no wings) did not survive that time.

Are red velvet ants wasps or ants?

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).
