Velvet Ant if that's what I've always called a "cow killer".

Motherfricker hurt. Really hurt.

Also in the running was when I got a bunch of yellow jackets in my shorts as a kid. But that was multiple stings so don't know if I can count it.

Single sting - red wasp to the back of the neck.

Worst event - 9 yellow jacket stings all over. Bastards chased me 75 yards and across a creek to get their licks in. They are the most ferocious IMO.

Stepped on a couple velvet ants as a bare foot kid running around. That shite ain’t no joke.

Terrifies me to the point of paranoia. If I haven't worn a pair of shoes in a while I start by taking them outside and giving the some good whacks. Then I look in them with a flashlight to make sure. Every blanket that is put up for the Winter gets shaken vigorously, and I'm never the first to use a dark colored one. I don't stick my bare hands in places where they or a Black Widow could be. I wear gloves and use a stick or something to move stuff around first.



If you see other spiders around, you know a Brown Recluse is not around. Brown Recluse eat other spiders. Brown Recluses are always seen alone. Thus the name "recluse".

Yep. Multiple yellow jackets at once is all I’ve got. If that’s a “2”, then I hope to never experience a “3” or “4” on this scale.


Right?

Yellow Jacket sting feels like getting hit by hot lead followed by the buuuurnnnn.

assassin bug

These are absolutely incredible bugs. There are so many different kinds, but we have the red and pale green ones mostly where I am. Evidently, this year has been a bumper year for the green ones. On a plant/bush near my front porch I counted eight young ones at one time. A couple days ago I was walking to the car and brushed against the bush. When I got in the car I felt something tickling my arm and looked down, it was one of the small ones. I got out, and let it crawl back onto a leaf. When I got back home, I looked at that leaf, and it was still there and had caught a fly. I like to think that our brief interaction was fate that got that thing its dinner.

Shitty pics with my phone:

What is that show with the guy that purposefully gets stung by the most painful creatures?

Yellow jackets feel like I’ve been shot by a handful of pellet guns. Pain lasts about 10 mins and I’m ok.

We called those “cow-killer ants.” As kids we’d trap them in glass jars and shake the jar around to make it squeak.

I remember doing this.

I know this isn't an insect, but it's the worst pain I've experienced with a bite/sting.

Stepped on one in my carport when I was about 10, and I then instinctively brushed out it out/off of my foot and got pricked again on my palm.

Misery for a long time. My foot and palm swelled up like a balloon.

Same here.

Was disking an old summer food plot to get the fall food plot ready a churned up a good sized yellow jacket nest. Those little fricker lit my arse up.

I left the tractor right where it was and waited until nightfall to go get it.

I don’t kill them individually, but their nests on my house are a pain in the arse.

I was probably 9 or 10. My older sister was playing a softball game at the local fields. At the bottom of the light towers at the park, there were these round little metal things that I guess red wasps liked to nest under. Well my dumbass best friend leads me to them and says "guess what." He then proceeds to knock hard on the little round things and runs away. Once I figured out what had happened, I started running but not fast enough to avoid getting 4 or 5 stings on the back of my leg. Not awful pain but it definitely hurt
