Yesterday I was enjoying spending time with my family at a birthday party. Christian, Luke( my nephew), and I were outside when a beautiful ant came walking across the drive way. Amazed, I decided to get a closer look at this ant.
I guess in the wild beauty can be deceiving, Bravely, I picked up the ant. It decided to crawl up my arm and sting me in the back of the neck. Ouch, now that wasn't very nice of that female Red Velvet Ant. After coming home and doing my research it turns out that it really isn't an ant at all. It is more like a wasp. It also bears the nickname "cow killer" because of its powerful sting. I'll tell you that thing was no joke. It felt like someone hit me in the back of the neck with a baseball bat. Man, what was I thinking. Next time, I'll leave stuff I don't know about alone.
