Really cool looking Ant - Timulla vagans - female

Really cool looking Ant - Timulla vagans - Female
Laurel County, Kentucky, USA
July 13, 2013
I am not a bug person so I have no idea about this image other than it is an ant. Curious though as to what it is.

Moved
Moved from Velvet Ants.

This one belongs to the genus
This one belongs to the genus Timulla. It looks like it might be T. vagans due to the suture on the thorax, but I'll reserve that judgement until someone confirms it just in case.

 
I agree

Thank You
Thanks for they ID

Nice find!
Also, a very credible image for something so small and quick.

Cropped and moved for expert attention.
Moved from ID Request.

Not an ant but a "Velvet Ant," a kind of wasp. The females are wingless. Others should be able to take the ID further.
