I don't know what it is but I am sufficiently terrified that I will never go outside the house unarmed. Oh wait, I never went outside the house unarmed before I saw this picture

That doesn't look like a welcome guest. Could the white stuff be fungus?

That looks like a 'Velvet Ant'. It may just be sand from digging.

Agree its sand. But the other end shows that its not a good idea to go around barefoot when they are around. And the sting is described as being incredibly painful.

Great shot of the stinger. I had no idea that they were curved like that. Or that long!
