That's what I was wondering to.

It most probably a red velvet ant- which is not an ant at all- it is actually a wingless wasp.

Red velvet ants are predators, hunting other insects, especially bees, and infecting their victims bodies or nests with their parasitic eggs.

They are a particularly aggressive species and can deliver a powerful and painful sting- this is how they got the nickname Cow Killer! Note that the female is wingless while the male has dark wings.

They are not poisonous or deadly (unless you are allergic) so no worries.

If you see them- turn around and walk the other way fast, they probably won't bother you if you leave them alone.

if you have an infestation call an exterminator.
