EDITORS COMMENTS
Watch out, it's the Cow Killer Velvet Ant - Alabama's feisty little daredevil!". In this print by John Abbott, we are introduced to the notorious Dasymutilla occidentalis, also known as the Cow Killer Velvet Ant. Against a pristine white background, this vibrant arthropod steals the show with its striking red coloration and intriguing profile. Hailing from Tuscaloosa County in Alabama, USA, this wingless wasp is not one to be taken lightly. Its warning coloration serves as a reminder that venomous creatures can come in all shapes and sizes. With its venomous sting and fearsome reputation, it's no wonder why they call it the "Cow Killer". But don't let its name fool you! This insect may pack a punch but poses no real threat to cows or humans for that matter. It simply prefers to prey on other insects rather than large mammals. Abbott's expert photography captures every intricate detail of this fascinating creature while leaving ample negative space for our imagination to roam free. So if you're ready for an up-close encounter with nature's own tiny superhero, look no further than this mesmerizing snapshot from Nature Picture Library.
