Tarantula Hawks
The tarantula hawk is actually a kind of wasp that feeds on tarantulas. These wasps have one of the most painful stings in the insect world and while they prefer to hunt tarantulas, they won’t think twice about stinging humans if provoked. Tarantula hawks paralyze their prey with that infamous sting before dragging it to a nest to be used as living food. The wasp lays a single egg on its prey which then hatches a larva that eats the prey. For humans, there is no need to seek medical treatment when stung as the pain, while excruciatingly intense, will go away within five minutes.
