What youur looking at is called a velvet ant(or mutilid). There in the oreder Mutilidae and surprisingly they are not actually ants, there actually wasps, the males have wings and fly but dont have stingers, the females are wing-less and dont sting. the males are more rare than females. Velvet ants usually live in sandy dry areas with patches of grass and make their nests under ground.

If it has a black stripe down the bottom of it then it is a Red Velvet Ant which isn't really an ant it is a wingless wasp.
