Have you ever heard of a velvet ant?

(internet picture)

Some people call them "cow killers," and I was told they were "cow ants." Well, they're not ants at all, they're wingless wasps, and one stung my sweet baby Mikayla. I know she's 8 (and a half, she would add), but she's still my sweet baby. Especially when she's hurt, at someone else's house, where I can't take care of her. :(
My friend Rebecca, whose dad is a dr., took good care of her and she's fine. But I'm still ready to hug her.

That thing gives me the creeps just looking at it! Yuck. Poor Mikayla.

See you tomorrow!
