Justin Schmidt, an entomologist and research director of the Southwest Biological Institute, knows pain. In fact, he invented the Schmidt Sting Pain Index , which categorizes the level of pain felt when stung by hymenoptera, an order of insects that includes wasps, bees, and ants. The good doctor took some time out of his busy day wrangling animals to talk about his first encounter with the bullet ant and the tarantula hawk wasp — the only two animals to reach SSPI's highest level, and members of our 25 Toughest Animals list—and just how it felt to feel their wrath. Books are filled with tales of the ants being used as part of puberty rites deep in the Amazon rainforest, but all of it was anecdotal from the early 20th century. I knew that the literature abounded with horror stories about what the bullet ant did, but I had never seen one. So you can imagine the excitement I had when the ants were finally right there in front of me during a trip to Brazil some time ago. I had a big jar in my collecting bag and I was trying to pick them up with inch long forceps, a great big monster tool, but the ants were sticky, which surprised me, because big ants are usually clumsy and don't climb very well.
