Harvester Ant STING Experiment

The most venomous insect in the world is an ant. A Harvester Ant, Pogonomyrmex Maricopa. I don't know where to find any but I did get stung by two species, the rough harvester ant and the western harvester ant. Both pack a painful sting in their own right. I often try to do macro photography with these ants and so I was wondering how painful a sting would actually be. I would advise against getting to close unless you have a reason too. I go over tips at the end of the video. Also this is a one off, I am not going to go get stung by a bullet ant.
