I’ll go ahead and explain this for anyone who doesn’t understand. This is what’s called a velvet ant or a cow killer. They’re generally ranked in the top 10 most painful stings that aren’t guaranteed to kill you. They’re wingless wasps. Getting stung on your arm or leg will give you a core memory but probably not kill you. The reason they kill cows is because the cows eat them and get stung in the throat. They’re very docile though so I pick them up.
