Im starting to get lazy to blog... Dont know why… Maybe nothing special happened recently.
I read a lot of news articles everyday as part of my job is to seek opportunities. After I finish reading business news, I would go on and read other news such as politics and general news. It was that day I came across an article about a family that was attacked by a swarm of hornets. Feel sorry for them. I was curious in studying bout hornets so I randomly went to Wikipedia to look for information bout hornets.
I came across this hornet which is the largest hornet in the world. The Asian Giant Hornet aka Vespa mandarinia, aka The Japanese hornet.
I wouldn't wanna get sting by one of these.
This AGH is one of the deadliest insect according to this list:

Then later I was wondering which insect sting or bite is the most painful, and I came across this list
1.0 Sweat bee: Light, ephemeral, almost fruity. A tiny spark has singed a single hair on your arm.
1.2 Fire ant: Sharp, sudden, mildly alarming. Like walking across a shag carpet & reaching for the light switch.
1.8 Bullhorn acacia ant: A rare, piercing, elevated sort of pain. Someone has fired a staple into your cheek.
2.0 Bald-faced hornet: Rich, hearty, slightly crunchy. Similar to getting your hand mashed in a revolving door.
2.0 Yellowjacket: Hot and smoky, almost irreverent. Imagine W. C. Fields extinguishing a cigar on your tongue.
2.x Honey bee and European hornet: Like a matchhead that flips off and burns on your skin.
3.0 Red harvester ant: Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail.
3.0 Paper wasp: Caustic & burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.
4.0 Pepsis wasp: Blinding, fierce, shockingly electric. A running hair drier has been dropped into your bubble bath.
4.0+ Bullet ant: Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like fire-walking over flaming charcoal with a 3-inch rusty nail in your heel.[3]
According to the list the Bullet ant (Paraponera) has the most painful sting, some says it is as painful as a bullet shot.

Some Facts (Wikipedia)
The pain caused by this insect's sting is purported to be greater than that of any other Hymenopteran, and is ranked as the most painful according to the Schmidt Sting Pain Index. It is described as causing "waves of burning, throbbing, all-consuming pain that continues unabated for up to 24 hours".It is thought that the ant has evolved this way to ward off any predators who would normally unearth them
This Makes me feel sick:
