Find out whether a honeybee, a tarantula hawk wasp, or a bullet ant has the most painful insect sting, and what each of their stings feel like.
--
One of these three creatures is thought to possess the world’s most painful insect sting: there’s an ant that forages in rainforest canopies, a bee that protects a hive of delectable honey, and a wasp that paralyzes tarantulas. So which has the nastiest sting? Justin Schmidt describes and ranks the pain inflicted by each insect.

@kepenetasik 3 года назад

great video Ted-ed like always. But there is a visual and probably a theoretical error at 01:31. Yes a severe allergic reaction from a bee sting can lead to fluid accumulation eventually. but the main severe allergic reaction's pathology in the lung is bronchoconstriction or narrowing of the airway tube which leads to respiratory distress. Yes, the allergy can also make our capillary blood vessel in the lung more leaky and fluid can accumulate there, but it will mainly accumulate in the alveoli further compromising oxygenation (pulmonary edema is the correct term). In the video, the fluid rising up from below indicates a pleural effusion not a pulmonary edema, and pleural effusion is pretty rare in a severe allergic reaction. i just wanna point it out to clear the error which probably is unintentional. Great video by the way. keep up the good work!

@xxfalconarasxx5659 3 года назад

@@maxine9263 There are a few possibilities. 1) Honeybees can take about an hour to die when their stinger is dislodged from their abdomens, so it may simply be that the bee died out of sight. 2) Occasionally the stinger may not penetrate deep enough, resulting in only superficial damage. 3) The bee was a queen, which lacks a barbed stinger, and thus can sting multiple times without harming herself. 4) It may be that the bee was a Bumblebee, which does not have a barbed stinger, so they can sting multiple times without harming themselves.
