BTW the tarantula hawk has the second most painful sting in the world
After all these years I find out why it hurt so so bad for so long.
That thing almost killed me,Whipping along at 40mph and took it in my shirt front and out my short sleeve,hit me twice. Locked the brakes and took forever to stop before I could get off and shuck my shirt looking for it.
I saw it when it hit me but never saw it leave out.
Another life lesson was administered by a pretty beetle we called "Cow Killers" when I was young and dumb.Has velour yellow top side and black underneath.
Stomped it to death in loose sand and picked it up to admire my handiwork, that is when I found out it can still sting.
Ask me what I found out about yellow jackets sometime.
