Okay, you clicked on this, which means you're the type of person who wants to see some ants sting people today. Good. Welcome to the club.

Here's a long video in which animal expert/wildman Coyote Peterson finds a bullet ant and makes it sting him. The bullet ant packs the 15th most painful insect sting in the world, which is described as, "Like walking over flaming charcoal with a three-inch nail embedded in your heel."

Suffice it to say, the sting looks painful. Skip to about 10:30 to get to the good stuff.
