This is a velvet ant. It is not an ant. It is a wasp. This is a female and she is flightless. The males can fly and mainly feed on nectar. These wasps are parasitoids meaning the females lay their eggs inside the larvae of other ground nesting wasps and bees. The larvae feed off of the innards and then bust out in chestburster-like glory. You do not want to get stung by one of these. Beautiful animal though. #velvetant #wasp #insectsofinstagram #insectagram #insects #arthropod #arthropodsanonymous #forestedge #nature #naturelovers #velvet #hymenoptera #hymenopteran #NorthAmerica #NorthCarolina #Coweeta #appalachia #appalachianmountains #Nantahala
