Today for #Invertober I chose a velvet ant, Pseudomethoca propinqua. Velvet ants are actually wasps in the family Mutillidae. Females are wingless and possess a wicked sting known for its effect on cows - but they don't actually die, they just sound like they're dying.

"Fun" fact, cows outnumber humans in my county roughly 2:1.
