You are one very lucky woman…
So this lady picks up a Velvet Ant (Dasymutilla occidentalis), which packs a very serious and painful sting! Luckily, it was in a good mood, and didn’t give her what-for. It may look like an ant, but its actually a kind of wasp. The more commonly encountered females are wingless. This species is common through much of the United States, Canada, and Mexico.

Yep, i did this too. Luckily i wasn’t stung either. My reckless tendency to touch everything. heh
Oh man, who WOULDN’T pick this bugger up though?! Look at the cute fuzz and that lovely coloring. I wish they came in cat-size as pets. So adorable.
