Jim are you paying attention???

The tarantula hawk has the 2nd most painful sting of any bug in the world. The pain is so excruciating that you basically shut down which matches up with the story.

The tarantula hawk’s sting, Schmidt has been quoted as saying, feels like “a running hair dryer has just been dropped into your bubble bath.” However, for sheer aggregation of misery he rates the sting of the bullet ant slightly higher. Whereas the sting of the tarantula hawk fades after two to five minutes, the “pure, intense, brilliant pain” of the bullet ant remains at full strength for one to four hours and can linger for 12 hours.

Gotta agree espiritu.........That's a really bad day!

We have a very pretty critter here called the "Red Velvet Ant". Nicknamed "cow killer"...that's how bad it hurts. I caught one in a jar one day and was surprised to hear it buzzing. Looked it up and sure 'nuff it's actually a wingless wasp. This critter won't kill you...it will just feel like it.

"Gallinippers! Monster mosquitoes poised to strike Florida":

"One of the most ferocious insects you've ever heard of — it's the size of a quarter and its painful bite has been compared to being knifed — is set to invade Florida this summer.

The Sunshine State, already home to man-eating sinkholes, invading Burmese pythons, swarming sharks, tropical storms and other disasters, can expect to see an explosion of shaggy-haired gallinippers (Psorophora ciliata), a type of giant mosquito, according to entomologist Phil Kaufman of the University of Florida........
