which insect sting hurts the worst?

[march1971]

I have been stung by bumblebees, hornets, wasps, honeybees, and yellow jackets, but never by scorpions or ants, and there are ants that do sting. (bullet ant)
I would have to say that the yellow jacket stings hurt the worst. when they sting, the area that was stung feels like somebody lit their lighter on an area of your body. I have heard that the tarantula hawk wasp is the most painful sting of all, but I have never been stung by one. worse yet is the Japanese giant hornet. not only does it hurt bad, but also its sting is the equivalent of a brown recluse spider, and when one JGH stings you, the entire nest comes after you as well. a giant hornet flies up to 60 miles at 25 mph.

Of course ants bite!!!  I think the fact that any bug/ flying stinger is around me is the most painful!  I am terrified of creatures!

I have been stung by bees and wasps; personally, the bee sting hurt more.  I have been bitten by a fire ants, and I remember that because my feet swelled up and was itchy.   Fortunately, I have never been bitten by anything else.
