Sorry I am not familiar with Georgia sp. what sp. is she? From her looks she does look like a stinging sp.

Is that a Cow Killer?

Yes sir that is 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.

First time I saw these was in basic training in gorgia thought it was a fuzzy ant and it stung my I in the finger def a powerful sting made my arm throb and got very pale,dizzy, and nauseous for a couple hours

yeah, ive seen them drop mini horses and goats, after a sting on the foot area.

Aren't they solitary? I think I've read about people having them as pets. Anyway, can you upload a video of you feeding it a live fruit fly or termite or something? I'm curious how they hunt compared to ants. I also kinda just want to see it kill something . Sorry I don't know a less creepy way of saying that.

Thanks for the (future) video.
I found one in my yard like a month ago and almost tried to catch it before I realized it was a velvet ant, and took a step back

I'm back from summer camp. Do you have a video?

They're definitely as far north as Maine, and they always get me excited at first glance. Most of the queens I am seeking are red.
