Depends on how much he attributes the pain from the insect stings to global warming.

The female tarantula hawk wasp stings and paralyzes a tarantula, then drags the specimen to a specially prepared brooding nest, where a single egg is laid on the spider’s abdomen, and the entrance is covered.[1] Sex of the larvae is determined by fertilization; fertilized eggs produce females while unfertilized eggs produce males.[1] When the wasp larva hatches, it creates a small hole in the spider's abdomen, then enters and feeds voraciously, avoiding vital organs for as long as possible to keep the spider alive.[1] After several weeks, the larva pupates. Finally, the wasp becomes an adult, and emerges from the spider's abdomen to continue the life cycle.

So the movie Aliens is based off the tarantula wasp?

Just mashed a tarantula into the rod yesterday. I worked with a guy that got stung in the back of the head by a tarantula wasp. He had to go to the doctor to get the wasp larvae cut out.

Bullet ants are what those Brazilian tribes put in those gloves as part of an 11 hour ritual.
