"10 MOST DANGEROUS INSECTS IN THE WORLD / YOU MUST RUN AWAY FROM"
Sometimes
the thing that scares us the most of the things that we can't see or almost
can't see this is not an exception, when it comes to the animal Kingdom certain
I understand bears lions sharks crocodiles killer whales and other big animals
are very intimidating and even threatening if we get too near them.
But what
are the chances that they'll come out during our sleep and attack us you'd have
to be in the open wound for that one to happen if you look around the most
common animals that scare and have encounters with humans in a daily basis are
very small.
Small animals can attack you without you seeing them and today
we're going to be looking at 10 of those dangerous animals which are insects. let's
begin shall we number 10 bullet ants let's start this list with the largest ant
in the world.
#10 BULLET ANTS : Bullet Ants you can
find these insects in the rainforests of Central and South America Nicaragua
and Paraguay to be more specific have you ever been stung by a bee. It's a very
painful sting but they say that the sting of a bullet ant is 30 times worse
than the one from a honeybee or even a wasp.
Some
people call it the 24-hour ant because they say that the pain it produces will
last for an entire day the bullet ant is also known for its unpleasant Smell,
this scent is launched whilst predators approach in the hopes of scaring them
away. However if this trick doesn't work then they get stung I guess you can't
complain what you've been warned by a bad smell.
#9 BOT FLIES : Bot flies and once
again another insect from the rainforests of Central and South America. I guess
it's impossible to comprehend the beauty of the international locations out
there without the corporation of some insects so. why not learn more
about them alright the bot flies are dangerous for the simple fact that they
can be living under your skin.
That's
right they love the skin of mammals and humans are no exception they say you
can even feel the movement of its larvae underneath your skin and when they're
there. However I wouldn't worry too much the larvae will only stay for up to 60
days it'll go out of your body, once it turns into a fully developed insect and
I guess that's kind of a relief.
Well
having larva under your skin for that long can definitely have some serious
effects on your health though so I made sure to avoid any botfly laying eggs on
me.
#8 FIRE ANTS : Fire Ants what can be
worse than the largest ant in the world well the fire ants of course if you
like the outdoors you know quite well. That red-ass don't like any kind of
interruption, I mean who does red ants will fight back whoever invader
threatens their space.
They
can crawl over your skin and sting you multiple times before you even notice
them and they're also going to keep singing until you remove them from your
skin and sometimes there's so many. That it's hard to quickly shake them all
off in more serious cases fire ants can release some venom that causes allergic
reactions and even produce a light pustule.
That
will last a long time so if you see a group of hard-working red ants near you
just let them carry on with their work there are small animals you don't want
to mess with.
#7 FLEAS : Fleas please are more
popular threat to dogs and other animals than to us humans but still they can
be quite dangerous to us. As well these small insects are known for sucking
blood from their hosts you'll know you've been bitten by one way you see an
itchy red spot or a bump on your skin.
The
scariest thing about them is their size they're as big as the tip of a pen and
reproduce at a very fast rate just as a ballpark estimate a female flea can
late 2000 X in our three months of life. They usually bite humans around their
waist elbows and knees and sometimes their bites can cause an infection for
that reason you better call an expert if you ever identify a flea problem in
your house you don't want them to make a home of your skin.
#6 KILLER BEES : Killer Bees also known
as Africanized honey bees these bees are the most dangerous in the world. While
the toxins and their sting is not life threatening humans the amount of bees
coming together was what might bring people to their own death.
A
single colony of killer bees can have around 80,000 of them that's just a
horrifying thought of the entire hive going against you better run fast cause
they're going to change you for more than a Mayan order to get you. And they
won't rest for the next 24 hours after getting disturbed for that reason, all
humans and animals should stay out of the range of any disturbed bees. They
won't hesitate to attack when it comes to humans, they'll likely go for their
face of their eyes it seems like they enjoy singing on those parts especially.
Imagine
having hundreds of bees in your eyes actually maybe that's not such a good idea.
So far the number of deaths by killer bees is around a thousand and we hope it
stays that way, but bees do their thing while we humans carry on with our daily
lives and our own problems far away from them.
#5 KISSING BUG : The Kissing Bug what's
wrong with the kiss I mean every kiss does begin with K but also killer begins
with K as well. I guess there's a lot wrong when we're talking about insects
though even worse when a kiss is used to suck blood. The kissing bugs lived to
suck blood out of animals and humans they get their name after the fact they
bite humans lips while they sleep.
The
worst part is that there are 12 thousand deaths every year due to the kissing
bug disease. Which is also called changose you'll know you've been bitten by
one of these insects when you start seeing strange rashes or welts in your body
it's definitely the kind of kiss you'd like to avoid.
#4 TSETSE FLIES : Tsetse Flies also
known as tick flies these blood sucking
insects aren't native to the African continent. They are responsible for the
death of almost half a million people, So that explains a lot as to why they're
considered some of the most dangerous insects ever each scene comes with toxins
that can cause sleeping sickness.
Which
gets its name from the disturbed sleeping pattern that in my cause if left
untreated this sickness can turn into a fatality. It can also cause fevers
headaches whoa and lymph glands pain in the joints and itchiness but it's so
deceiving to the point that weeks and even years might pass before you
experience any serious problems.
In
later stages it can cause some serious damage to the nervous system including
seizures and even difficulty to talk and walk for that reason it's important to
get a proper medical check-up after coming into contact with such a deadly fly.
#3 DRIVER ANTS : Driver Ants can there
be hands that are worse than the bullet ant and more intimidating than the fire
ant well. Yes and the title of the most dangerous and is for the driver ants
they're so bad that even elephants run away from them. They manage to be this
threatening due to the size of their colonies which can be made up of 22
million ants they're committed to end the life of any animal.
That
gets in their way these unforgiving insects can kill a lot of different animals
in just one go they even attack other insect nests and kill them in order to
get food. Humans are also not exempt from the threat of these ants and attacked
by driver ants can cause some serious wounds on human skin.
They're
mostly found in Central and Eastern Africa but don't be surprised if you find
them in the southern part of the continent or even in Asia now.
#2 JAPANESE HORNETS : The Giant Japanese Hornets law may not
actually be called number two to give you some perspective on this matter. Let
me start by pointing out that this is the largest species of Hornets in the
world. Yeah that's right this Hornets it can be about five centimetres long,
which is quite larger than most insects what makes them.
So
dangerous the venom of their sting which causes an allergic reaction and
dissolving of tissues in a very short window of time multiple scenes. Can even
cause deaths in fact Japanese Hornets gets about 40 deaths per year, which is
quite a lot for an exotic insect such as this one. These Hornets are also
famous for having a large colony of about 700 Hornets each their favorite
pastime is actually eating honey bee larvae and they are capable of killing 40
honeybees within a minute.
If
they wanted to after all it really does seem like the giant Japanese Hornet is
a very angry and aggressive insect and I would like to come across any of them
in my life and now the most dangerous insect of them.
#1 MOSQUITOES : Mosquitoes yeah that's
right the most dangerous insects are not some exotic animal, that you never
heard about this title belongs to the minuscule mosquitoes. As they are some of
the most common and most dangerous insects out there. I'm not kidding because
they are responsible for 1 million deaths per year all around the world.
They
transmit a lot of diseases but the deadliest one is probably malaria, they
carry this serious disease from place to place and inject it on their victims. As
they feed from their blood there are 500 million cases of malaria, every year
and it's considered that a child dies every 30 seconds due to this terrible
illness. They also transmitted other diseases such as yellow fever and civil
itis the West Nile virus and the most famous of all dengue is common in
tropical areas such as Central America and Southeast Asia.
So
make sure you get some repellent on you before you venture into mosquito
infested areas. A mosquito bite doesn't always end up getting people sick but
make sure you visit a doctor if you're not feeling well after getting bitten by
one of these insects.
