That is really three questions in one. It could mean which insect has the most venomous sting, which insect has the most dangerous venom but does not sting, or which insect causes the highest mortality rate.
Firstly the most venomous sting insect. In the USA alone 23 people a year die from bee and wasp stings. Usually an insect's sting is quite harmless for humans and only a slight skin reaction occurs, but a few people suffer very severe reactions. When stung, a few people can go into anaphylactic shock and experience difficulty breathing, difficulty in swallowing, a sharp fall in blood pressure, collapse, unconsciousness and even death.
The most dangerous insect in this category is the honey bee, and accounts for as many human deaths as all the species of snake cause put together. However, nearly all of the deaths caused by these insects are due to allergic reactions and not to the venom itself.
The insect that has the most potent venom belongs to the ants in the Pogonomyrmex genus. This tiny little insect can kill a 2kg mammal (such as a rat or a rabbit) with only twelve stings. These ants could kill a human with between 350 to 450 stings, without an allergic reaction taking place. To put this in perspective, to get the same reaction from a honey bee, it would take well over 10,000 stings.
Now for the most venomous insect that does can not sting. These are only dangerous in they are ingested or touched. There are a few caterpillars in this category and two groups of beetle, but the most venomous is the Blister Beetle. There are around 2000 species of blister beetle worldwide, and when they occur in large numbers they can cause a large problem for livestock. The Blister Beetle produces a toxin called Cantharidin, a chemical that cause blistering on the skin and if eaten also inside the intestine tissue. These beetles live in grass and hay, the natural food source for many animals and when they are eaten by these grazers, it can cause them serious harm. A cow or horse need only eat 10 or so beetles accidentally to become seriously ill, and this is likely to kill the animal.
However, the Blister Beetle might be the most toxic, but it is not the insect that causes the most deaths. This title belongs to the Mosquito, but how does it kill with out venom or poison? The Mosquito carries many potentially dangerous diseases and as the move from one person, or animal, to another, they infect the new host with these diseases. The Mosquito with the most infamous reputation is that of the Anopheles genus. In Africa alone this tiny insect kills one child under the age of five every thirty seconds. That totals around 3000 every day and nearly one and half million in a single year. The mosquito is also known for transmitting malaria and this claims the lives of around one to three million people every year. Even if a person survives the first stages of malaria, it is a disease that they will have to battle for the rest of their lives, and will most probably result in death years after the first infection. It is commonly agreed that malaria is one of the top killers in the world, and the main cause of infection results from the tiny mosquito.
So the insect with the most venomous sting is the Honey Bee, the insect with the most toxic venom is the Blister Beetle, although this is only dangerous if eaten, but the insect that causes the most deaths is the common Mosquito.
Just a small edit if talking about the most venomous insect that does not sting, instead of saying the blister beetle I would say the genus Lonomia would be the winner which are a group of moths located in South America, however it is not the fully grown adult moth that is being brought into question but the caterpillar instead. While the LD50 for them has not been tested it is predicted to have the lowest LD50 among all natural Toxins.
How does metamorphosis happen?
Metamorphosis is a biological process in which an organism undergoes significant physical changes from one developmental stage to another, commonly seen in insects and amphibians. In insects, such as butterflies, the process involves stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa (chrysalis), and adult. During the pupal stage, the larva undergoes extensive reorganization of its body tissues and structures. In amphibians like frogs, metamorphosis involves transitioning from a tadpole with gills and a tail to an adult with lungs and limbs.
What insect has a yellow body lots of legs and is very fast?
im going to say a house centipede.he is a yellowish tan with abt 15 legs on each side and is extremely quick.look him up.
Which part of the body of an insect are the breathing holes found?
Center that regulates breathing are lying mostly in the thoracic ganglia. Insects perform respiratory movements whit muscles of abdomen, in which are trachea.
They have no point, except to annoy people, which they do very well!
What brown bug has eight legs and pinchers?
If it has eight legs, that makes your creature a spider not an insect. (Or a lobster or crab, but I am assuming you are not speaking of shellfish.)
Beyond that, more detail is needed regarding:
* size of spider (measurement and proportion of body, legs) * location (country/state, and specify basement, flower garden, etc) * behavior (movement, feeding, speed) * web (if any) * markings
In September of 1978, Dr Keith Von Armadillidiidae recorded A woodlouse at a rate of 32KPH, in the North west corner of Area 51 NM. The Woodlouse (sometimes mistakenly referred too as the "Pill Bug" Was being chased by a large Forrest dwelling animal. According to Dr. Keith Von Armadillidiidae, the normal speed for the American Woodlouse is around 1KPH......
well they have no other chose they are always so small a person cant see them and they step on them and the ant is always wandering around the place clueless for food they try to run away but they cant because are feet move quickly but i guess the fast kind of ant get stepped on less.
Slater's eat on decaying vegetable's, fungi and other animal matter
Does ethyl alcohol kill dust mites?
Many different types of alcohol are poisonous to insects. Ethyl alcohol is commonly used to exterminate dust mites and other insects.
Does getting beeswax hurt bees?
Harvesting beeswax does not hurt the bees. The bees will just continue on with their work and create more beeswax.
Well, firstly, you get a hair brush with lice on it. Then, you brush you anus with the brush. Thus, you now have anal lice.
Is a spider a mammal or insect?
A spider is neither a mammal nor an insect; it belongs to the class Arachnida. Spiders have eight legs and lack the wings and antennae characteristic of insects. Mammals, on the other hand, are warm-blooded vertebrates with fur or hair and typically produce milk to feed their young. Thus, spiders are distinctly different from both mammals and insects.
Are there bugs in your eyelashes?
Yes there are bugs in your eyelashes. They are not bad, they are very small creatures who eat the stuff in your eyelashes, so your eyelashes don't look disgusting. So their are also bugs inside your skin to eat your dead skin cells so they don't harm your new skin cells. Hope that answered your question :)
What animal has 3 body sections and an exoskeleton?
- Crab
- Lobster
- Yabby
- Marron
Most crustaceans have exoskeletons that cover bodies divided into segments.
The arthropod body is encased in a hard structure called an exoskeleton. The exoskeleton acts as an external skeleton and provides the animal with structural support and protection. The exoskeleton consists of cuticle, a multi-layered substance secreted by the epidermis. Cuticle consists of chitin, proteins and lipids. In many aquatic crustaceans, the exoskeleton is mineralized with calcium carbonate that is acquired from the surrounding water. This produces a tougher, more rigid structure. Since the exoskeleton is rigid, it must be jointed to allow the arthropod to move and acts as a framework to which the animal's muscles are attached.
What insect lays reddish brown eggs?
Ticks lay round, brown eggs. As a matter of fact, a single female tick can lay as many as 6,000 eggs once she has feed on a host. The squash vine borer also lays small brown eggs as do some species of beetles.
What do flea bites feel like on humans?
A person would have random small red raised itchy bumps on his skin that would resolve in 24-48 hours; new bumps would appear on a regular basis. Every bump is a single bite, so as new bumps show up this indicates new flea bites.
What kind of insects do jerboas eat?
Jerboas eat beetles, ladybugs, dragonflies, grasshoppers, flies and fireflies. They eat flying insects as they can detect them by using sound; they then use their long legs to leap into the air and catch them in mid-flight.
Why are insects classified as animals?
All eukaryotic lifeform (i.e. not bacteria or archaea) are grouped into four kingdoms: Plants, Animals, Fungi and Protists.
A plant is a truly multicellular organism with cell walls composed of cellulose. They are typically autotrophic, meaning that they produce their own food, in this case via photosyntheses.
An animal is a truly multicellular organism with no cell wall. They are heterotrophic, meaning that they cannot produce their own food and must seek nutrients from sources.
A fungus is a truly multicellular organism with cell walls composed of chitin. They are heterotrophic.
Protists are typically unicellular organisms, though occasionally they may lump together to form something that looks like a multicellular organisms, though unlike the others they will have no tissues. Depending on the protist, they may be heterotropic or autotrophic.
Insects are multicellular organisms. The cells of an insect do not possess a cell wall. Insects obtain their nutrients from other sources by eating. This satisfies the criteria to be classified as animals.
What should you do to protect your food from flies?
The most common fly to be found in the home (and subsequently the one which eats our food!) is the Musca domestica, or Common House Fly. As this fly can only eat liquid food they will ‘spit’ out saliva onto solid foods to aid in pre-digestion. Also due to their high intake of food they almost constantly deposit faecal matter. This coupled with the ‘vomiting’ increases your chances of coming into contact with the diseases they carry. Flies can also carry diseases ‘picked up’ from contact with infected humans, such as Typhoid or Polio. As well as the above, Flies can also cause/spread Diarrhoea, vomiting, anthrax, cholera, eye-infections… That’s why we cover our food!
What flying insect has light yellow wings and bites?
Sounds like thrips. I have them in my yard too. They're not harmful, just a bit of a nuisance when they bite you.
What kind of insects do bears eat?
All species of bears, excluding the polar bear, eat bugs. they also eat berries, fish, and sometimes small animals.
