By Vika https://pictolic.com/article/most-painful-insect-stings.htmlEntomologist Justin Schmidt has been stung more than 1,000 times by more than 80 different types of insects. It was he who systematized and compared the hemolytic features of insect venom and created the Schmidt Scale, which is a scale of the strength of stings of stinging Hymenoptera, depending on the strength of their effect on humans and the pain experienced. The assessment is given on a four-point scale. We will start our list from the very bottom, gradually approaching those insects whose bite causes hellish pain.
