Dasymutilla gloriosa, right side 2, Cochise Co., AZ
Dasymutilla gloriosa. Thistledown Velvet Ant. Elizabeth Garcia who took this picture claimed this one creeped her out. ... and she sees a lot of wasps and bees. Not an ant, but a wasp. This it the wingeless female collected by Tim McMahon in Cochise County in Arizona. Desert. Check out the nice crisp arrays of white hairs when you look at the picture full screen. Ask yourself..."what does it want?"
