The most painful bite is a bite from a bullet ant or bullet ant sting.

The most painful bite in the world is the bullet ant sting.

The pain from being bitten or stung by a bullet ant is described as blinding, electric pain, comparable to being shot with a gun.

Two other insects, the tarantula hawk wasp and warrior wasp, have comparable stings to that of the bullet ant.

A bullet ant bite usually appears like any other ant bite and your skin will usually turn a bright red or at least a red color and also somewhat white.

The most painful sting in the world is the bullet ant.

Paraponera clavata is a species of ant, commonly known as the bullet ant, named for its extremely painful sting. It inhabits humid lowland rainforests in Central and South America.

The cow killer wasp is also another pretty painful sting in the world.

The pain from a cow killer sting is very painful and very excruciating and lasts for around 30 minutes.

Cow Killers are called cow killer ants although they are actually wasps.

Although commonly referred to as the red velvet ant (and in some cases cow killer ant), this name is misleading because velvet ants are actually wasps.

They get the "velvet" part of their name from the very fuzzy females, which are wingless and often brightly colored.

When a tarantula hawk stings you the sting will be painful and you'll experience pain that is instantaneous, electrifying, excruciating, and totally debilitating.

The bees that have the worst sting are.

Tarantula Hawk
Carpenter bees.
Bumblebees.
Honey bees.
Wasps and Hornets.
Africanized Honey Bees.
Yellow Jackets.
Paper Wasps.
Bald Faced Hornets.

Wasps do sometimes sting someone for no reason even if you don't provoke them.

However wasps rarely sting people unless you get too close or they are provoked.

A paper wasp sting is less painful and not as bad as a yellow jacket sting.

A yellow jacket sting is worse in terms of pain than a paper wasp sting.

You can tell a yellow jacket from a paper wasp by appearance as paper wasps are much thinner than yellow jackets at the waist and paper wasps also have distinct long legs that look to be hanging loosely when the paper wasp is flying.

Paper Wasps are also more reddish in color than yellow jackets and yellowjackets also have a stockier body, black antennae and shorter legs than a paper wasp.

A hornet sting hurts more than a yellow jacket sting.

A sting from either the yellow jacket or hornet can be potentially deadly if someone has an allergic reaction to the venomous liquid.

A yellow jacket sting is pretty painful although it's usually only painful for a few minutes and then the pain starts to go away.

When yellow jackets sting, the yellow jacket pierces your skin with its stinger and injects a poisonous venom that causes sudden pain.

You may also experience inflammation or redness around the sting a few hours after being stung.

Fatigue, itching, and warmth around the injection site are also common symptoms for many people after being stung by a yellow jacket.

The 10 most painful stings come from.

Tarantula Hawk Wasp.
Sydney Funnel Web Spider.
Red Harvester Ant.
Paper Wasp.
Amazon Giant Centipede.
Black Widow Spider.
Japanese Giant Hornet.
Bald Faced Hornet.
Giant Centipedes.
