Animal Expert Coyote Peterson Gets Intentionally Stung by a Tarantula Hawk


In this episode of the nature and expedition series “Breaking Trail,” host and animal expert Coyote Peterson experiences the extremely painful sting of a terrifying tarantula hawk.

“Boasting the world’s 2nd most painful sting, the tarantula hawk also happens to be the largest species of wasp in North America! These enormous spider wasps are most notorious for their macabre breeding habits but are also becoming well known for their ranking on the insect sting pain index. Only trailing in behind the bullet ant in terms of “sting pain” Coyote felt it necessary to experience this fear inducing sting before taking on the highly anticipated bullet ant challenge.”
