Velvet Ant plush soft sculpture
Description
Velvet ants (Dasymutilla occidentalis) may look like large fuzzy ants, but they're actually a type of wasp. The females are wingless, and can deliver a powerful sting. The sting is so painful it's the source of their other common name, the Cow Killer (but no, they can't kill a cow or a person).A perfect gift for the biology geek in your life.
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Hymenoptera
Suborder: Apocrita
Family: Mutillidae
Genus: Dasymutilla
Species: D. occidentalis
********************************************************
This velvet ant is made of fleece, pom poms, and stuffed with polyfil. Created with a combination of hand and machine sewing.
This is my own original design, I have no pattern.
Velvet ant measures 12" (30cm) long.
********************************************************
My soft sculptures are not suitable for children 12 and under due to delicate parts. This would do best as a display piece.
*Attention NEW YORK STATE residents*
Please wait for a revised invoice so I may include the sales tax. In NY sales tax is different for each county so it can't be done automatically in paypal.
