This is a cute ass looking ant. It's
called a Panda Ant or if you one of those fancy folks it is known as
Euspinolia militaris. I know you might think this I a cute half-assed
Pokemon but in fact it is not even an ant. It is a wingless wasp! Its
known as a panda ant because it, well, looks like a panda and an ant.
The lady versions have thicker fur and no wings. The do not live in
colonies like other insects choose to but rather stay alone. Oh, and
they are also known as “cow killer” because their stings are so
painful they can knock out an actual cow. These are found in Chilean
forests which is awesome for me because I have never been there and
likely never will so I don't have to worry about them biting my ass
while I rest. Wait. They are found in the Southwest too? Fuck that.
This monster wasn't discovered by some poor unfortunate soul until
the 1930's. The males of the species get their creep on at night
while the ladies get down during the day. They lay their eggs in a
nest of another insect, their babies hatch, and immediately start
eating the other insects. Little bastards.
