| BIOLOGY OF THE VELVET ANT | |
| Velvet ants are not ants at all but rather solitary female wasps. These ants parasitize bee and wasp nests. The females are quite large (up to 1/2 inch) ,wingless, very hairy and colored bright orange or red with black in between. The sting from one of these wasps is one of the most painful of any insect.

| Most of the time only one of these wasps is seen at a time, posing no problem. But at times there are many located in one area. Spraying with a Cypermethrin compound will keep these wasps and ants under control.
