STUNG by a TARANTULA HAWK!

STUNG by a TARANTULA HAWK! Courtesy Brave Wilderness.
The tarantula hawk has been awarded second place on the Schmidt sting pain index, beaten only by the South American bullet ant (Paraponera clavata). The pain from a bullet ant sting lasts up to 24 hours, whereas that of a wasp usually only aggravates the unlucky victim for five minutes.
