A few days ago I watched this cool ass
special about plants that ate insects and sometimes rodents on PBS as
suggested by Camille. While watching all these goofy ass insects I
got stuck in a Wikipedia hole and wondered which insects hurt the
most when they stung us. The second worse is called a tarantula hawk
or as I say “churanchula” hawk. Fuck this thing. Ain't a tarantula or a hawk!
Its about two
inches long and gets its name because it paralyzes an actual
tarantula and then drags its stupid body to its nest and lays its
eggs inside of the spiders abdomen. When the babies are hatched they
eat the tarantula for a long time making sure to keep it alive as
long as possible. They are then big enough to burst out the spider
because nature isn't scary enough so it decided that you should be
walking through a jungle one day, spot a dead tarantula, and suddenly
these things come exploding out of its body. Tarantula hawks are
known as something called nectarivorous and will eat fermented fruit
till they get drunk and can't fly. Yeah. That's just what I thought
the world was missing. Flying death bugs that are turnt. They say
that the best way to handle being stung by one of these is to just
lay somewhere and scream. I'm dead serious. They says its because
when you are in that much pain you are gonna be acting eleven kinds
of stupid and should just chill the fuck out. And scream. The sting
won't kill you but you will just wish you were.
