Panda ant from Chile
The Mutillidae are a family of more than 3,000 species of wasps (despite the names) whose wingless females resemble large, hairy ants. Black and white specimens like this one are sometimes known as panda ants due to their hair coloration resembling that of the Chinese giant panda. Their bright colours serve as aposematic signals. They are known for their extremely painful stings.

That is one awesome looking ant. Thanks for the share.. and the sources.
It's technically a wasp.
Ohh shit, you're right. Wingless wasp, who would have guessed...
Thanks for the share. Everything that looks cute is so deadly/harmful
Poor guy looks like he got spray painted.
That is cool.
