Big Creepy Fuzzy Red Ants

    Thanks to my mom I now have a new fear. Big creepy fuzzy red ants. I was standing in my bathroom yesterday straightening my hair, when i noticed this, what I thought to be, a huge fire ant crawling up the wall. So I grabbed a weapon, the cap from my hair spray. Wielding my  super ant killing weapon I began to beat the wall mercilessly. Well, apparently the ant was like Super Ant or something and would not die. So I skillfully trapped the Godzilla Ant under the cap. I went to slide it onto a piece of paper and the thing managed to escape. So I'm like "OHMYGOD!!CREEPYGODZILLAANTESCAPED!!"
Well my mom heard me and was like "what's wrong?"
so I tell her:
Me: Big creepy Godzilla ant!
Her: Was it furry?
Me: I don't knoooowww.... O.o (< that is me all confused)
Her: Okay.

So she walks away and I follow her.
"Wait. Are those real?" i ask
"Is what real?" that is how she responded. I am having a panic attack and she acts like she doesn't know what I'm talking about.
"The furry ant?"
"Yep, and they will sting you and  you will explode."

Well, she didn't mention the exploding part but, I could only assume that. Especially after I Googled  'fuzzy red ant'.


This is the picture i got:

What the hack? That thing looks like it is from another planet. It is called a Red Velvet Ant, and the females have a very painful sting.
How am I supposed to know if it's a dude or chick. Ask it? What if it is a girl and gets offended and stings me? Then I'm in the same boat I was trying to avoid. My dad said just kill it but, did I mention this thing is also called a Cow Killer. If it can kill cows what defense do i have? Now I'm freaked out. I am to the point of shaking my blankets before I go to bed. Also, it seems like everyone knew these abominations walked the Earth. Everyone......but, guess who? That's right. Me.
While all these other people had time to train and bulk up to fight the Cow Killing Beast, i was totally in the dark about the danger of this cow hating creature Not any more! I refuse to be defenseless! I must fight! Or buy some bug spray.
