Velvet Ant - Dasymutilla

Velvet Ant - Dasymutilla
Ozark Mountains, Searcy County, Arkansas, USA

Size: 13mm
Dasymutilla pyrrhus?

Dasymutilla it is.
Genus works fine for me in the absence of a specimen on hand, microscope or the knowledge to distinguish between species. Thanks, Kevin.

Definitely Dasymutilla
Almost impossible to know the species without a specimen on hand and a good microscope.
