The world's most painful insect sting | Justin Schmidt

The video explores the world's most painful insect stings, focusing on the Western honeybee, tarantula hawk wasp, and bullet ant. Entomologist Justin O. Schmidt's pain index ranks these stings, with the bullet ant's sting being the most painful. The honeybee's sting causes intense pain and allergic reactions, while the tarantula hawk wasp's sting paralyzes its prey. The bullet ant's sting causes prolonged agony due to the neurotoxic poneratoxin. These stings have evolved as defense mechanisms, aiding in the survival of insect colonies.
