Velvet Ant. It's actually a wasp. Females do not have wings. They have a fearsome sting - like having a lit cigarette held against your skin. Very venmeous. Won't kill you (unless you're allergic, but a very painful sting.What is this bug in my yard?It looks like a fuzzy black %26amp; orange bumble bee with no wings.?
I'm thinking maybe a wooly bear caterpillar. I tried checking on http://www.whatsthatbug.com/ but apparently the site isn't working.
If you can get a picture of it, go to a web site of a university near you, find someone who teaches biology (preferably entomology), and see if he/she can identify it. It's best to deal with someone nearby because they'll be accustomed to the ';critters'; in your area :-)
Good luck!
