i’ve seen enough movies to know that will probably end horribly for you.

I am going with ants.
This response was assisted by an AI agent.
An ant weighs, on average, between 1 and 5 milligrams. With almost 10,000 ant species worldwide, the combined weight of all the ants on Earth is greater than that of all the people.
So, if ants were the size of humans we would be their food. Actually, since there are 20 quadrillion ants, the earth simply couldn’t support them if they were human size.

Ants are one thing. But a human size flea will get under your skin…. But my vote is for human sized maggots..

2.Giant Centipede (Scolopendra) Why: Already hunts birds, bats, and small mammals. Human-sized, it would sprint at you, inject venom, and coil you in its legs. Abilities: Lightning-fast, venomous, armored. Survival odds: 2/10 — maybe if you’re in a tank.
These things are already the stuff of nightmares…

That would be a very big ball of crap.

Definitely ants. Cicada killer wasp would be terror.

Dragonfly or praying mantis

Yes, immediate death could come in many scary forms. But what's something that would immobilize you as live food for their larvae? Something like a dirt dauber with a spider.

Mantis
Maybe Wasp

Cicada Killer, but many wasps do that to different prey.
