It says “he says it hurt as much as the Tarantula Hawk’s sting and Bullet Ant’s bite”.
This article is technically inaccurate, first of all, both are stings not bites, and second, he even said in the video that the executioner wasp’s sting surpassed both the previous insects, which means it’s the king of insect stings.
Sorry bullet ant.
Plus the wasp’s stinger barely went through his arm and if just a scratch causes that much pain, then if it got stuck in his arm and continued pumping venom, the pain must be indescribable.
Remember how he felt when he got bitten by the Giant Desert Centipede?
That caused so much pain that he stopped filming & didn’t sleep for 36 hours, yet it made the bullet ant feel like a bee sting in & 30 bee stings on the face feel like facial moisturizer in comparison, and it was just shy of his worst pain in his life, the Gila Monster’s bite, which was actually accidental.
Both were bites, and this mentions stings, but you get the point.
Most people can’t tolerate the sting of the executioner wasp & he took it to teach us about them.
The biggest problem with the video was that it was filmed before he got stung by the Japanese Giant Hornet, yet he said that also surpassed the tarantula hawk and bullet ant, but given that he posted that before he posted this(and his agony) would indicate that the executioner wasp is the king of stings as far as insects go.
