So here we have this naturalist who has been exploring some of the insects that rank the highest on the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. He's worked his way up to the #2: the pepsis wasp aka tarantula hawk.
It is ranked second only to the bullet ant: an insect whose sting is equally painful to the tarantula hawk but lasts up to 24 hours; whereas the pepsis wasp sting pain lasts only about 5 minutes or so.
For me, listening to that bastard wasps' wings beating against the glass was worse than watching it sting the guy.
