The Velvet Ant

According to What's That Bug,
This is a Velvet Ant, a flightless female wasp. Watch out, she stings. We found a species match on BugGuide.
It couldn't get away from me fast enough; it was hard to get a good shot of it. Seems that you'd have to work pretty hard to get stung by one of them. It was quite large---1", possibly 1-1/2" long.
