Hello I hope you are very well, today I want to share with you the images of a beautiful female velvet wasp.

This wasp is female because it has no wings, I was also curious because it was walking alone, as they are solitary insects.

This wasp visited my house one day, I thought it was very cute because I had never seen an ant so big and with such colors, which led me to investigate further. This wasp is also known as the velvet ant, so called because of its hairy appearance, also has a very painful sting that is called the cow killer.

Here are the pictures I took of them, because for not having wings they walk super fast, I hope you enjoy them.

Greetings to all God bless you, thank you for visiting my blog ❣️.
