Description:
The author takes us on a journey inside the lives of stinging insects, seeing the world through their eyes as well as his own. He explains how and why they attack and reveals the powerful punch they can deliver a small venom gland and a 'sting', the name for the apparatus that delivers the venom. We learn which insects are the worst to encounter and why some are barely worth considering. Includes the complete Schmidt Sting Pain Index, published here for the first time. With colourful descriptions of each venom's sensation and a story that leaves you tingling with awe.
