Panda Ant

"Panda Ant" (Euspinolia militaris)

…is not an ant but a wingless wasp of the family Mutillidae (velvet ‘ants’). E.militaris was collected in Chile ‘recently’ and not much is known about its biology and ecology. However, it probably has a painful sting and its young probably are ectoparasitoids of other insects.
