Must not have any tarantula hawks that way. They WILL thin the herd out and fast.
I used to be afraid of them but, not anymore. BTW, dont EVER get stung by a Tarantula hawk..one of the worst stings, as far as pain, in the world I understand.
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 and 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.
0 – 2.0 Honey bee and European hornet - Like a matchhead that flips off and burns on your skin.[3]
3.0 Red harvester ant - Bold and unrelenting. Somebody is using a drill to excavate your ingrown toenail.
3.0 Paper wasp - Caustic and burning. Distinctly bitter aftertaste. Like spilling a beaker of hydrochloric acid on a paper cut.
4.0 Tarantula hawk - 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 grinding into your heel.
