I believe it's some type of Velvet Ant
Proverbs 6:6-8
Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

Re: Need Help Identifyig Queen
Not actually ants -- "velvet ants" are fuzzy flightless wasps. They are all very pretty, and resemble queen ants closely enough to get my heart pumping for the split second before I recognize them.
If you enjoy my expertise and identifications, please do not put wild populations at risk of disease by releasing pet colonies. We are responsible to give our pets the best care we can manage for the rest of their lives.

Lol, that has happened to me twice! I thought at first it was a really pretty looking queen, but then after a closer look I saw it was Mutillidae. :/Batspiderfish wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2017 9:33 pmNot actually ants -- "velvet ants" are fuzzy flightless wasps.
