finally found a velvet ant!!! i was like hmm… that little ball of fluff is moving in a very animalistic way… apparently the defense mechanism of velvet ants is to be very still and look like a piece of lint. then when i got very close it started waggling its ass at me. i was scared it was gonna shoot hairs into my eyes but faced my fear and got an inat pic anyways. could only get an ass shot because it made sure to only have its ass facing me at all times hahahahah

It hovered around me for a couple of minutes, following when I walked away. It drank some of my coffee.
