Panda Ant

These tiny creatures may look like a small panda crawling around, but they are no cuddly bears. Instead, they are wasps. ( Not ants. Wasps. )  These insects own their name name from their black and white color. These insects have a lovely appearance but have one nasty sting that could get ferociously painful on your skin. This is why they are also called “cow-killer,” since they are capable of knocking out a cow or other animals that are much larger than they are. They also have a tough exoskeleton that help them while invading their prey’s nests and also in retaining moisture since they mostly occupy dry areas. They are most likely to be found in dry tropics and in desert and sandy areas such as Southwestern United States and parts of Mexico. Similar to a bee, these creatures feast mainly on nectar.
