As tarantulas come out again, so do these predator wasps.
They have been measured as having the second most painful sting of any insect in the entire world.
Saw some in my backyard.

One researcher described the pain as "…immediate, excruciating, unrelenting pain that simply shuts down one's ability to do anything, except scream. Mental discipline simply does not work in these situations."

What ants am I thinking of? The ones that have killed babies and old people because they move so quickly and in such large groups?
