In response to the cow velvet wasp ants..
These are indeed an almost indestructible insect. For fear of being attacked, my grandmother tried to step on one with sneakers on and nothing happened. She tried to smash it with the broom, spray it with Raid, hit it with a hammer, run over it with her car, all to no avail.
Tough exoskeleton is an understatement. These things are superbugs.
Ok, so maybe a little overdramatized, but still. She couldn’t kill that thing. It was kinda pretty, but really quite disturbing to know that this thing is called an “ant”.
