The most dangerous insects. Hit parade of "mini-killers"

It is no secret that the most numerous is the realm of insects. On earth, in the water, under the earth, on trees and in the air, there are billions of "subjects" of this kingdom. If you count all the insects that live on the planet, you will get an incredible number - ten quintillion. Not all these creatures are harmless, like a ladybug. Most insects Th poisonous. There is even a kind of hit parade, which includes the most dangerous insects. Of course, they represent a danger, first of all, for a person.

One of these poisonous creatures bears the beautiful name of Lonomy. From local residents, this bright caterpillar received a "pseudonym" Lazy Clown, but under a beautiful outfit and a funny name lies death. This creature is covered with hairs, and each of them is poisonous. It is enough simple touch, and the person starts to destroy erythrocytes, and on the body there are terrible maculae. A few touches lead to kidney failure and brain hemorrhage. The most dangerous insects of this species kill about thirty people a year.

No less dangerous for us and the spider Karakurt. He himself does not attack people, but the karakurt females are very poisonous. A red patch on the abdomen will let you know this spider and go around it.

Such poisonous insects, as fire ants, more recently became the "scourge" of America. In the States they were brought from Brazil. In the new country, the emigrants got along well and became a threat. Rolling on a farm with a red wave, these ants devour all edible, as well as most of the inedible farm. Their bite causes a sensation similar to a burn, from which the name of the insects has gone .

Another no less poisonous ants are called army. These three centimetric insects live near the Amazon. Most of their length is occupied by the sharpest wads in the form of a machete. They do not have permanent anthills. Army ants march in an even order, destroying all the living things along the way. They do not need poison - these insects devour the victim alive. The "ant" family includes a lot of dangerous species, for example, an ant-bullet. They live on trees and dive on the heads of poor tourists with piercing squeaks. To this "battle cry" hundreds of other ants come running together. They burned like a bullet, piercing any surface, and poison is deadly. From Aboriginal people this
The species received the name "24 hours" - this is how much the torment of the victim lasts.

The most dangerous insects are not always poisonous. A vivid example of such a creature is the gadfly. This parasite perfectly adapts to any organism. Gadfly are horse, cow, sheep ... Of course, human gadflies also exist. In our body, the larva of the gadfly helps to get a blood-sucking insect, for example, a mosquito. And this creature can live in any part of the body, even in the brain.

Another dangerous insect was created by man. American biologist Warwick Kerr crossed European bees with their African "relatives". The result was an Africanized bee with inadequate behavior. It is enough to approach the hive for five meters - and a deadly dose of poison is assured to you. On the "enemy" these bees are thrown over by the whole company, and it is almost impossible to escape from them.

Well, this list is headed by the most dangerous insect - the Asian hornet. The wingspan of this five-centimeter insect is more than seven centimeters. In addition to the poison sting, the "sharks" of the insect world have other weapons. The hornet knows how to spit acid. He releases the jet from his proboscis and falls right into his eyes. The smell of this liquid at a speed of 80 kilometers per hour flies all the surrounding hornets. Survive after such an attack is impossible, no wonder the Taiwanese call the Asian hornets "bee-tiger". The most dangerous insects dwell not only in East Asia, but also in Primorsky Krai. In Japan, a similar kind of hornets for huge size is called a "bee-sparrow".
