Educative topic but I think the most feared should be Mosquitoes.. They are responsible for more deaths than any other creature (not only Insects) in the world

Mosquitoes are actually the most terrifying and destructive of them all. Responsible for millions of deaths each year.

there is a black ant here in nigeria that has a nasty sickening smell especially when killed..i am not sure this ant is bigger than it...that ant is also around an inch long if not longer

You re right. The ant is very big and usually moves alone. It emits a strong repulsive odour. It's called Ikamudu in yoruba. I recall a single bite to a friend of mine in the boarding school bush then. The guy was all swollen up like a pig and he was stripped naked and writhing in pain for days with palm oil all over his body.

This idiot bit me and for a moment I forgot my name. More painful than a black wasp's.

I think you were bitten by a wasp and not a tsetse fly. You wouldn't even know when a tsetse fly is done feeding on you

RoyalBlak007:
Maricopa Harvester Ant
The most venomous insect in the world is the Maricopa harvester ant. They contain the most toxic venom, which is made up of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. The ant attacks its prey by latching onto the victim with its pinchers and injecting the venom as many times as possible before being dislodged.

The venom is 12 times more powerful than that of a honeybee. It only takes 12 stings to a kill a rat, and it would take around 350 stings to kill a human being. That sounds like a lot of stings, but it would add up quickly if you were attacked by many of them at once.

When a Maricopa harvester ant stings its victim, it releases pheromones that signal other ants in the colony to join the attack. The pain from the sting is also measured as one of the more painful on the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, coming in at a Level 3 (just one below the highest).

The Maricopa harvester ant can cause anywhere from four to eight hours of pain after stinging its victim. They spend most of their lives in desert areas
looks similar to fire ant grin

I dont think their bit is as painful as you painted it, it only causes unpleasant itching which can last up to 12 hours or even more. They are very much in my village, you see them more during season of maize.

Especially when you are sleeping.

Bite you once, brought you into the state Confusionist. Came back again, this time bite more aggressively in another spot while the first bite is yet to calm.
