Ant or Wasp ?

Bug Guide ID pending.... Not sure if it's an ant. It could be a wingless Wasp like the "Cow Killer" or "Velvet Ant"...From my searching, I'd say it's a Timulla vagans - ... Which is a female wingless Wasp, similar to the "Velvet ants"

Yeah, it is, but there must be other species as I have older images of much larger females with slightly different coloration. http://www.flickr.com/photos/screaminscott/842610682/in/album-72157636298928214looks like a wingless wasp (velvet ant) to me

I see the one I linked to more often. This is only like the 2nd time I've seen the one I posted at the start of this thread & it's about half the size of the one on my Flickr stream. Neither one stays put for long though.they are all the same critter and all female. the males have wings.i have seen 5 or 6 different ones here.
