Was playing baseball with my son and he tossed the bat, went to pick it up and also picked up the red velvet ant.

Forgot how hard they were to kill.

They're indestructible. I stopped killing them when I read how good they are to have around.

I think I stepped on one of those, with shoes on, about 47 times this past summer. And it still moved. So I stepped 47 more times.

Fire ants are at the bottom?

I guess the problem is you never get just 1 fire ant bite?

I remember seeing these as a kid and we were all amazed at how tough they were. We’d step and stomp on them over and over and it barely even phased them. I do t remember what we used to call them though, and that’s gonna drive me crazy.

Those things were no joke though. I can’t imagine how bad their stings hurt.

We may have called them bullet ants..??

ETA: definitely was cow ant.

One rarely gets stung by just one yellow jacket.

But I’d take ten yellow jacket stings over one red velvet ant.

Something is wrong with that guy. He seems like a fun guy to hang with.

No, those bastards are coordinated. They prey on you when you're preoccupied, like when chopping weeds in the garden. You're hard at work, and you didn't see the bed in the red clay dirt....
it just blended right in. You don't even really feel them crawling on your leg. 10, 20.....maybe more. They wait.....timing their attack. The ranking officer counts down from three, then......you feel it, you retreat from the garden, swatting.....kicking, cussing. You've been ambushed.



This is an entirely hypothetical situation, of course.
