I see a lot of these or somet
I see a lot of these or something similar on my car. They are red with black wings. Some of said termites or baby wasps but I don't think that is what it is. They don't seem interested in attacking people or animals. They walk around in circles and are easily scared off by motion. I wish I knew what they were though.
