Hit my golf ball into the woods. I reached down to pick it up and a Puss Caterpillar bit me. My are swole up, I threw up, and then passed out. I haven't golfed since
I read that is a bad experience
Saddleback caterpillars and yellow jackets have been the worst for me

Yellow Jacket and the red paper wasp, but I believe I recall the yellow jacket hurting more. The yellow jacket also left a little scar mark on my leg... still there from 25 years ago. I think the chart is cool, but not entirely accurate on the pain scale.

Opened my shed door and some sort of paper wasp got me on my right nostril.
I’ve been stung by ants, wasps and bees before, but this was the worst pain of them all.

“Kings of pain” is an awesome show, personally those gopher hornets that burrow in the ground are vicious and frickers bring the pain.

Red wasp for me.
And I never want to know what a tarantula hawk is.

On this list is one that regularly gets mistaken for a bald-faced hornet, the four-toothed mason wasp. I tell people all the time not to kill them. They catch a whole lot of bugs and worms that are pests, and you just about couldn't make them sting you if you tried.
Also not on this list is one that often gets confused for a red/paper wasp, and that's a mud dobber. You also don't want to kill dobbers as they look mean but are harmless to humans - however they hunt and kill brown recluse and black widows almost exclusively. Red wasps will fight dobbers and vice versa, but dobbers won't mess with humans unless you really really really go out of your way to mess with one endlessly.
They're the "good guys" of the flying-stingy-thing world. Don't kill mud dobbers, they're here to help

Worst reaction was from a hornet that somehow crawled into the bed with me at the lake cabin and wound up in my boxers and stung me on my inner thigh right next my balls. Thought the girl I was seeing had stabbed me in my sleep.

I got stung by a red wasp when I was a kid, had an allergic reaction and my entire forearm swelled up like I was half Popeye.

I've had a very rational fear of spiders after almost losing my right leg to a brown recluse bite. I can't say that the bite was painful though, as it went unnoticed for long enough to begin to turn my veins black and leave a nice hole in my calf muscle

I had no idea the red paper wasps are as painful as this chart says. They're pretty docile
Docile? I've never seen those frickers docile. I was under a nest that was about 20 feet up at work,without knowing. One fell off the nest, hit me on the ear, and died. He was almost dying and gave one last sting before he did. A goddamn kamikaze wasp. frick them all

Medium-sized black bee stung me right above my eye. Yowtch

I have a nice hole on my right leg where the flesh was eaten away. Luckily the meds stopped it in time before any cutting was to take place. Dad and grandfather both had to get theirs cut out.

red wasp on the back of my ear. I heard the F'er coming towards me, but it was too late

When I was living in Hawaii as a kid, I went to pick a bunch of "grape seeds" (our name for them, they were not grapes) off a tree. When I pulled the fruit out, a large wasp nest was connected and they lit up my hand and arm.
They popped me 30 or 40 times.
When I was working as an entomology field scout one summer, I was bitten twice by an assassin bug. It was very painful.

I don't see "cow killer ant" anywhere. It's actually a wasp. I'm sure someone knows what I'm talking about.
That MoFo hurt.

I was in Bali, Indonesia upcountry in Ubud and I saw and heard something kind of big buzzing around my head. Within a few seconds, it stung me on the right side of my neck.
The locals all came around me, sat me down, a lady from a shop came running out with some local salve and leaves to put on it.
It hurt like hell, swoll up huge, I was light headed, I could feel my heart racing and my throat closing.
They gave me some local tea and after about 30 mins, I was on my way.
My whole neck and shoulders hurt for a couple of days and the stinger site stayed swollen for a couple of weeks.
It may have been a giant Asian hornet, a murder hornet or some other wasp/hornet species there - they apparently have over 100 different types there.
