Top 10 Most Deadliest Insects by WriterX(m): 2:08pm On Dec 27, 2020
They are creepy, they are small, some would puke at the sight of them and some will frighten the ghost out of you, yes I am talking about our little unfriendly friends who will share the planet with and today we are giving you a list of top 10 most deadliest insects who will give the bigger animals a run for their status as the world's deadliest.

10 THE BULLET ANT

The bullet ant is the largest of all ants in the world. They mostly found in rainforests of Nicaragua and Paraguay. Bullet ants named after their painful sting. their sting is compared to the painful effects of been shot at In fact, the sting by a bullet ant is 30 times more painful than of a wasp or a honey bee or even both combined.

The one-inch sized bullet ant also called as ’24-hour ant’ by locals because the pain caused by its sting usually can last up to 24hrs,talk about painful memories.
Each bullet ant colonies contain hundreds of members. Bullet ants release unpleasant odor once they find any predator and once you are perceived to have noses that don't work or a brain that doesn't quite detect a warning from a friend's fart they would attack together with the powerful sting

9 THE HUMAN BOT FLY


The larvae of botflies are known internal parasites of mammals including you and I and just so you know the dangerous larvae also live beneath human’s skin and cause horrible effects. The human bot flies mostly found across Central and South America. ‘Myiasis’ known parasite infestation makes severe changes in skin tissues,horrible changes so to add , you may have seen this in little dogs after birth.

The young female bot flies laid eggs within the skin of mammals. The larvae penetrate through skin and lives in sub dermal zones of human skin for more than 60 days. The patients could feel the movement of larvae beneath their skin. Once larvae development gets complete, it leaves out of the body without saying thanks , talk about been painfully rude literally.

8 THE FLEAS


i know we have been expecting these guys, yes they are annoying and terribly dreadful especially for our women, Fleas are external parasites that suck blood from humans, birds, reptiles and wild and domestic animals. The fleas could cause itching spots on the skin of hosts. Fleas only have a size of the tip of a pen and reproduce very quickly. Every female flea lay 2000 eggs within their life span now imagine about.........you get the point.

There are 2000 known species of flies in the world. Young fleas can consume the volume of blood that is over 15 times their body weight. The flea bites on human body result in red bumps which are itchy and sometimes infectious.

7 THE FIRE ANTS

They are the real mobsters, the gangsters of the insect world who believe in togetherness in a way that hurts whosoever is stupid enough to be a threat to them .
There are 285 different species of fire ants in the world. Once disturbed, they would sting the intruder repeatedly in their numbers. The fire ant sting is very painful also. A white pustule caused by fire ant sting last for weeks. Their venom also would cause several skin problems . Fire ants usually attack in the group that contains ten to hundreds of ants. The venom of fire ants also result in allergic reaction.

6 THE KISSING BUG


There is nothing romantic or sexy about this insect so names definitely can be deceiving because the kissing bug grows up by sucking the blood of vertebrates. Kissing bugs named after their habit of biting the lip of humans while they sleep. They also transmit parasite called as Trypanosoma cruzi. The kissing bug disease or ‘changas’ kills 12000 people every year the figure might be small but please watch who you are kissing next time you never can tell.

5 THE GIANT JAPANESE HORNET

They are giants in the insects world, they are intimidating, scary, they would stare at death in the eyes and say 'have some venom' and of course they sting painfully they are the Giant Japanese hornet who happen to be the largest species of hornet in the world. They grow up to a size of 2 inches. Every year up to 40 deaths are recorded by the sting of Japanese hornet. The venom of Japanese Hornet would cause an allergic reaction and dissolve tissues within the short time. The repeated stinging from the group of Hornets could also result in death.
The Japanese hornets are very aggressive and fearless. Each colony of Japanese Hornet contains up to 700 members. They feed on honey bee larvae to a significant amount. They have the power to finish up to 40 honey bees in a minute and these are same bees i shiver from ,talk about intimidating the intimidators even bees have predators.

4 THE TSE TSE FLY


yes they are known for the sleeping sickness but what you may not have expected is our pick for number 4,dubbed the deadliest biting insect native to Africa. They mainly feed on the blood of vertebrates. The extreme dangerous insects inject potent toxin on each string. It is estimated that about half a million people lost their life by the attack of tsetse flies in Africa. At the primary stage, the venom of tsetse flies would make sleeping sickness on the victim. But it may lead to fatality without proper treatment.

sleeping beauty might actually need a doctor not a prince charming.

It is one of the very aggressive and dominant insects in the world. The group of killer bees follows the victim for more than 1 miles, yes they would pursue whatsoever comes their way , They attack in group and make repetitive stinging and if you thought you had read it all but this guys like to dish out their pain in their favorite part of your body, right in your face and eyes.

But their toxin is not so dangerous. But an attack by a group of killer bees could cause even death. They live within large colonies that contain more than 80000 members. Once they get disturbed, the bees become alerted for next 24 hours and would attack any animals or humans that come within their range.

1 THE MOSQUITO


what were you expecting?

Mosquitoes are considered till date the most dangerous insect species on Earth. This deadliest insect causes 1 million death every year by transmitting deadly malaria disease. Mosquitoes carry malaria germs from one place to another, and they spread germs into the blood of victim by biting. WHO estimated that in every 30 seconds a child dies due to malaria and 500 million cases of malaria reported every year.

Malaria is a blood transmitting disease. This disease won’t affect by contact with the sick person. It transmitted through parasites, mainly by bites of mosquitoes. In addition to malaria mosquitoes also spreads dengue fever, yellow fever, encephalitis and the West Nile virus.
