Field Notes

Description:

An unknown ant. It has two orange spots on its abdomen and its adbomen is more like a butterfly's abdomen. Well, I don't know exactly how to explain it.

Habitat:

I don't know.

Notes:

I found it sleeping in my room's door.

Looks like some kind of Velvet Ant ( which are basically wingless wasps ). I don't know if all, but some do have a painful sting.
