Imagine how surprised I was when I saw this White Velvet Ant, I didn't know at the time that it is a female wingless wasp. They are also called Cow Killers because they have a very powerful sting. 15 mm long.
Semi Desert in some bushes.
I saw a few White Velvet Ant spottings but yours was amazing!! Congratulations on the SOTD, LuisStevens.
