List of top ten insects in nature

most people have been stung by bees or other insects, but fortunately, most of us have not experienced the pain of being stung by hairy spider Eagles or fire mosquitoes. Entomologist Justin Schmidt from the University of Arizona bravely tested the pain of 150 kinds of insect bites with his own body and described them in detail. After hundreds of times of "forcibly demolishing" countless insect nests, leading to the self-defense counterattack of small insects, Schmidt quantified his experience of being bitten into the "Schmidt bite pain index", and listed the light bite pain degree of 78 insects in detail in the table, and then scored 1 to 4

10. Sweat bee

Pain index: 1 Schmidt comments: very light, very short, a slight bite will hardly leave traces on your arm.

9. Fire ants

Pain index: 1.2 Schmidt's comments: it's a little sharp and a little scary. It's like walking over a very rough carpet and touching it

8. Acacia ant

Pain index: 1.8 Schmidt's comments: a sharp pain like an injection into the skin.

7. White spotted wasp

Pain index: 2.0 Schmidt comments: very painful, a kind of simple pain, just like the feeling that your head is clamped by a revolving door.

6. Bumblebee

Pain index: 2.0 Schmidt comments: it's hot and choking. It's quite unbearable. Imagine a burning cigarette burning your tongue.

5. Bees

Pain index: 2.0 Schmidt comments: this pain is like a burning match head falling on your skin.

4. Red harvest ant

Pain index: 3.0 Schmidt comments: cold and rough pain, like someone digging out the toenail growing in the meat with a drill.

3. Wasps

Pain index: 3.0 Schmidt comments: not only painful, but also painful. It's like pouring hydrochloric acid from a beaker on a skin wound.

2. Long haired spider Eagle

Pain index: 4.0 Schmidt comments: it hurts to shock, just like being shocked. It's like an electrified hair dryer falling into the bathtub where you are enjoying a bubble bath and giving you an electric shock.

1. Bullet ant

Pain index: 4.0 + Schmidt's comments: it's like walking barefoot on the hot charcoal ash in the fire crossing ceremony, and there's a feeling of inserting a 10 cm rusty manicure knife on the knee, which makes people feel miserable.
