Velvet Ants

Mutillidae

Description:

Orange and black wasp. Most species covered with velvety hairs. Females are wingless. Males of many species larger than females as seen here.

Notes:

This pair was found in our greenhouse against the window. They were moving around so rapidly they were hard to frame in the pics.
