This is a colorful Velvet Ant that i found on the wall of my house. Although it is called a velvet ant, it is actually a wasp.This wasp has a black abdomen (with silvery spots), black head, black legs, and orange thorax. The size of this wasp is about 8 mm in length.
- Spotted on the wall of my house.
- I hope, someone can help me to ID this wasp.

Lanzz, although it is called a Velvet Ant it is actually a wasp, Vespoidea, from the family of Mutillidae.
