Yes sir that is a "cow killer".Varanid wrote:Is that a Cow Killer?
It is Mutillidae sp. I believe. Not really well versed on them quite yet. And yes they pack quite a sting. Not one I would ever want to feel.

I used to play with them as a child, surprisingly, was never stung. I was shocked when I read that they have a painful sting. They never seemed very aggressive, I let them crawl all over me.

Hey you got the wrong forum, Mutillidae's are technically wasps 
, just kiddin, but I was really surprised when I read that they were wasps 
I wish you luck, I also hope that you have sting cream

yes, you definitely do have Mutillidae up there. when i worked for the traveling zoo for a while, we went all over the east coast, and midwest. i specifically remember seeing them where we were near Harrisburg, PA. the first one i ever encountered was in Orange, Virginia about two weeks prior to seeing them in PA.AntsRule wrote:Does anyone know if PA has a sp. of these?
