A YouTuber nicknamed the 'King of Sting' let a 'murder hornet' sting him

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

and his arm ballooned almost immediately

Huge, monstrous insects nicknamed "murder hornets" were spotted in the US for the first time at the end of last year. Because that's exactly what we need.

Officially called Asian giant hornets, the insects killed 41 people in the Chinese province of Shaanxi in the summer of 2013. They've also beheaded entire colonies of bees and even murdered mice.

A YouTuber showed us what a sting from one of these murderous creatures actually feels like in a video uploaded in 2018 on the channel Brave Wilderness.

Coyote Peterson, known as the "King of Sting," made it his mission to experience the most painful stings all over the world. He chose the "I haven't been this nervous since the tarantula hawk," Peterson said, shaking, while the hornet writhed between a pair of tweezers. He then lowered it toward his arm and let the insect sting him.

"Oh man, wave of dizziness really quick," Peterson yelled, saying the stinger had lodged in his arm. "Searing pain. Absolute searing pain. Did you not see how slow the sting was?" Japanese giant hornet — a subspecies of the Asian giant hornet — for one episode.

[cwydro]

12. This is why these youtubers do what they do.

because there’ll always be ——-s who will watch such idiocy.

Judging from that pic, it seems unlikely to be one of those killer hornets. So anyone watching that nonsense got punked.

16. Have you seen the dude that eats "vintage" MREs?

Vicarious thrills will always attract us Apes.

[cwydro]

17. No. I do watch YouTube videos.

But usually cooking videos or funny ones.

I don’t like anything that exploits any kind of creature, even if it’s a stinging one.

[maxsolomon]

18. Well, that guy is exploiting his intestinal flora and fauna.

Eating 100 year-old MREs.

My kids can't get enough.

9. He must be "interesting" on dates. If he can get a date.

I give him credit for having a unique way of trying to make a living, this is definitely a niche career.

[CatWoman]

11. lol

I think it was was so cute when he caught the hornet.

He was beyond excited.

I admire enthusiasm.

[Alex4Martinez]

14. I would watch his shows, he's definitely in his "zone".

I also love his passion for his work.

13. Many years ago, I got stung by one of these

Cicada killer AKA cicada hawk.

I was working outside and one lit on my shirt under my arm while my arms were raised. When I lowered my arms, it zapped me. My arm flew up reflexively and the stingy bastage casually took flight. The pain was excruciating and traveled down my side rapidly. I fell to the ground, writhing in pain. It left a raised welt 2" wide from armpit to waist that lasted several days. The Schmidt scale gives it only 2 on a scale of 4 for pain, but I beg to differ.
