WTH is a bullet ant?
It's how you become a baw if you grow up around the Amazon.
The videos of people trying it out are pretty good.

I know this is mostly insect stings but I want to know where a stingray sting stacks up in this madness.
I've been stung freaking twice.

I’ve been stung by a stingray before, been stung but lots of things like jellyfish, all sorts of yellow jackets/wasps/bees pretty much any critter south of the mason dixon that can sting you I’ve been stung by.
The cow killer is by far the most painful thing I have ever experienced. Bastard got me on my foot when I was like 12 and that to this day continues to be the pain I measure anything against. They are hard to kill, super aggressive with a stinger 2/3rds the length of their body that feels like a hypodermic needle. Stingray hurt don’t get my wrong but it was like a yellow jacket sting for me, cow killer put me out of commission for a whole day and I had to wear a sandal on my right foot for 3 days because it swelled up so much my foot wouldn’t fit in my normal shoes.

The Sateré-Mawé people of Brazil use intentional bullet ant stings as part of their initiation rites to become warriors or leaders.[25][33] The ants are first rendered unconscious by submersion in a natural sedative, and then 80 of them are woven into gloves (which resemble large oven mitts) made of vines or leaves, stingers facing inward. When the ants regain consciousness, an initiator repeatedly blows smoke at the ants, with the objective of making them agitated and aggressive. Once this is done, the initiate has the gloves put on his hands and keeps them on for 5 to 10 minutes or longer. Afterward, the boy's hand and part of his arm are temporarily paralyzed because of the ant venom, and he may shake uncontrollably for days. The only "protection" provided is a coating of charcoal on the hands, supposedly to confuse the ants and inhibit their stinging. To fully complete the initiation, a boy or man must go through the ordeal 20 times over the course of several months or even years.[34]

Bear in mind that if you REFUSE to do it, they will call you a "pussy" on an internet message board AND none of the girls will date you.

Not discounting how you feel about it, but I've been stung by yellow jackets plenty of times. It's not very memorable for me. Both stingray stings have been brutal, 3-4 hours of pain. Weeks worth of swelling. The second one actually made me ill as well.
I believe it depends on how much venom you get.

So no jerking off for a little while.

'm sitting here trying to imagine the experience of the worst sting pain you can feel and it lasts for 5 fricking hours Where do you find bullet ants?
South America
There’s tribes there that have a ritual where you have to put on gloves filled with bullet ants for a certain amount of time. There’s YouTube videos of people trying it
I wouldn’t recommend trying

They’re so painful it causes people to lose consciousness due to the body not handling that amount of pain

caterpillar was first parasitised by a wasp that laid eggs inside of it. Those eggs hatched, developed by feeding on the caterpillar (being sure to keep it alive long enough). When the time came the larvae chewed their way out of the caterpillar and spun individual cocoons on it. Then, the wasp you see came along and targeted the cocoons, laying it's own eggs inside of them. Its larvae then fed on the original wasp larvae, before hatching as a grown wasp. All if this hinges on the caterpillar staying alive long enough for the process to work.
Well that’s just horrifying for the caterpillar

1. I have been stung by multiple of the big solid red wasps at once. 2. If it hurts worse than that, I don’t want it.
This. Our tractors will sit out on the fish ponds unused for weeks and then have oxygen problems one morning and hop on one to put a paddlewheel in a pond. Red wasps love to build nests inside the seats and dash and give you a hell of a surprise. I’ve jumped off a moving tractor before and just let it go into the pond

One of those finally got me this summer. Was spreading out pine straw around my trees in front yard and it somehow crawled up my shorts and got me on my inner thigh. Idk if it was the pain or the heat but I had to sit down bc I got dizzy.
That fricker packed a punch.

Surprisingly there are thousands of different velvet ant species worldwide. I’ve seen a few of this species at my house in Folsom and at Bogue Chitto State Park. Didn’t realize there were different species until I researched what it was…
