El día de hoy presento varias imágenes de una hormiga terciopelo que encontré paseando en mi patio, no es muy usual encontrarse con este tipo de insectos, quizás por qué habitan en el subsuelo.
Today I present several images of a velvet ant that I found walking in my yard, it is not very usual to find this type of insects, perhaps why they inhabit the subsoil.
Aproveché que andaba paseando para tomarle unas cuantas capturas, es un insecto un tanto curioso e inquieto pero se mantuvo tranquilo algunos momentos para las fotos, me encantan sus características son unos animalitos realmente hermosos.
I took advantage that I was walking to take a few captures, is a somewhat curious and restless insect but he remained quiet some moments for the photos, I love their characteristics are really beautiful animals.
Se llaman terciopelo debido a que están cubiertas de vellosidad y sus colores son mezclados entre rojo, blanco, plata, oro y como este espécimen, naranja y siempre vienen con motas negras.
They are called velvet because they are covered with hair and their colors are mixed between red, white, silver, gold and like this specimen, orange and always come with black specks.
Cuentan con una mordedura muy potente por ello se le llega a conocer como asesina de vacas ya que como broma se dice que pueden matar a una vaca.
They have a very powerful bite that is why you get to know her as a cow murderer because as a joke it is said that they can kill a cow.
Se dice que pueden existir en todo el mundo aunque son más comunes en climas cálidos y arenosos.
It is said that they can exist all over the world although they are more common in warm and sandy climates.
