Yes it does. Like baby lepords
red velvet ants also known as killer cows have 6 legs
velvet ants (actually a wasp) are predators of bumble bees
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.
Yes, they do. I lived in SW Missouri and seen them when I was younger.
Red ants are able to bite to defend themselves against predators. Black ants lack this defense mechanism so they tend to move a faster rate of speed to get out of harms way.

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).
Yes they can because if they suck your blood poision will get on to you.

The Velvet Ant is a wasp not an ant. Females are wingless and covered with hair and strongly resemble ants. The red velvet ant is the largest velvet ant species at 3/4 of an inch long.
It sounds like you have an infestation of wingless wasps also known as Velvet Ants. Be careful as they have a very powerful sting. The following URL will get you to a page on the Velvet Ant and a method of removing them. http://www.pestproducts.com/velvet_ants.htm

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.
