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. However, predator such as anteater is a threat to them. There are only a little information about this species available because panda ants are rarely spotted and not too many research and studies about them are ever made.
It so cute!
Despite their cute appearance, petting them might not be a good idea because if their sting can disable a cow, it maybe deadly to human too.
