Panda Ant, it sting can paralyzed a cow

If you think being sting by fire ants is painful, you obviously didn't want to be bitten by Panda Ant. Panda ants are also known as “cow killer” due to their sting which is strong enough to disable a cow. This species are not actually an ant, Panda ants are actually considered as some sort of wingless wasp. How come you never see one? Panda ant can produce about 2000 eggs per year.
