Use the paragraph to answer the question

The red velvet ant is famous for having one of the most painful stings in the insect world. In fact, it is often called the cow
killer ant, because its sting is said to be so terrible it could kill a cow. Neither one of these names perfectly suit the creature,
because it is actually not an ant at all. The red velvet ant is a flightless wasp that usually takes over the nests of bumble
bees and stays low to the ground. Only the female of the species has a stinger, but what a stinger it is! It is exceptionally
large and packs one serious punch. While the sting is not deadly, save for those who might have an allergic reaction, it is a
highly unpleasant sensory experience
