Some insects are totally harmless the ones on this list however are not these
are some of the most scary and dangerous insects and if they bite you you may not
make it they can be found all around the world so if you see them don't try and
squash them just run I'm Charlie and today we're going to look at ten scary
since sex on earth but before we get into it why not subscribe and press the
notification bell - coming up first we have assassin bug can you think of a
more friendly name than an assassin bug well these bugs don't have that name
because they're so cute and friendly in fact their natural behavior is something
straight out of Game of Thrones these boats are part of the rejuvenizer
and there are many different species of these bugs however all of them can
transmit very scary diseases onto humans this includes chagas disease-- this is
an infectious disease which causes your skin to inflame it also damages your
heart organs and body tissues they got their name assassin bugs because they're
known to strike very quickly they have long sharp beaks which they use to
quickly stab their prey they also inject enzymes into their prey which causes
their insights to go all soft and then they suck out their preys insides like a
smoothie one species of this bug found in Malaysia even glues the corpses of
other bugs to its back it kind of uses them as a form of armor so if you see a
bug covered in dead bug buddies then run next up is giant orb weaving spider if
you don't like spiders then stay well away from Australia down under you get
an insect known as the giant orb weaver you may think that spiders like to eat
small insects like worms and mites but these spiders are so scary they eat
birds that's right very large birds are sometimes eaten by giant orb-weaving
spiders and the spiders can actually grow pretty big themselves sometimes
they can be the size of a human hand and in even more tropical climates they can
be even bigger so they're humongous venomous and eat birds I think that
qualifies them to be one of these scary since
known to man and bird next up is Saddleback caterpillar now these things
look pretty cute it's almost as if they're wearing a Christmas sweater but
while these things may look cute they act very scary they're found all over
the southern states of the USA many hikers sometimes run into them and
because they look so fascinating they pick them up but these hikers don't
realize that they're covered in venomous hands if you touch them they will arch
your back onto you they will then stick as many spines and
hairs into you as possible and of course it injects you with a venom which could
take you out yeah not so cute anymore next up is curved spiny spider this is
another scary spider you do not want to mess with these live in the trees in
Southeast Asia you know they're around if you see or blight webs because that's
what they built their bodies are ten millimeters long which is pretty small
but they have gigantic horns which were a lot longer not only do they have
massive horns they also have spikes around the edges of their bodies in
countries where these are found they're known to terrify children not only do
they look scary but they also love to bite humans now thankfully their bites
are unlikely to take you out but they could definitely cause a rash or an
illness and if you're allergic then you may well pass away to you to one of
these spines frankly they're much more scary to their prey which involves any
small insects in the jungles where they live next up is Asian giant Hornet I'm
sure when you were a kid your parents said if you see a Hornet then run but
did they tell you about giant Hornets it's no secret all Hornets can't take
humans lives but giant Asian Hornets are even worse their body length is 5
centimeters and their wingspan is 8 centimeters that's already because
they're so much bigger than a wasp or bee thankfully though you will hear them
coming is they're incredibly loud around 10 times louder than a war
they feed off other insects for example honeybees sometimes they'll even go into
a beehive and take out the entire hive and while they don't eat humans they do
take their lives their venom is powerful enough to disintegrate human skin one
who survived an Asian giant Hornet sting said it's like a hot nail going through
my leg that does not sound very nice to me in 2013 there was a gigantic plague
of these in China over 41 people passed away and 1,600 were injured next up is
Army Apps did you know that all of the ants in the world weigh more than all of
the humans in the world that's right that's how many ants there are on this
planet it's thought in the world there's 1
million billion ants in the world that may sound like a made-up number but it
isn't it looks like this army ants are polymorphic this means that different
ants in their colony have different appearances they can be 2 to 13
millimeters in length this means they can eat creatures way bigger than them
for example snakes they overwhelm their prey with their weight and then tear
them apart they have pincers which can dispense acid which dissolves their prey
if you ever run into a corner of army ants then stay totally still they detect
their prey by movement one survivor said this thing is so painful it feels like
you've been shot they said it was intense pain describing it as quote like
walking over flaming charcoal with a 4-inch rusty nail in your heel yeah that
does not sound comfortable to me next up is Atlas beetle these beetles are
gigantic with big holes and that's why their nickname is the rhinoceros beetle
they're one of the biggest beetles in the world measuring around 6 inches long
and their horns make up a third of that they have many different spikes on them
too which allows them to flip over their prey their legs are also covered in
sharp spikes and it's big horns can easily go through human skin they are
mainly found in Southeast Asia they live longer than most beetles about 4 to 5
years and while they don't eat humans they do bite them this bite usually
won't take you out unless you're allergic but it will still hurt and
possibly give you an infection next up is camel spider
this isn't some kind of bizarre hybrid of a camel and a spider although that
would be cool and scary no if these folks are found all over North Africa
and the Middle East these spiders can be over eight inches long and while they
don't look like a spider they are one as they have eight legs their jaws make up
a third of their length and they also give a very painful bite to humans they
rose to fame when American soldiers in Afghanistan kept finding them in their
boots they go into people's boots as they want to find shade in hot
environments but this is not good when you put your boots on because they bite
your feet this can sometimes take humans lives if they're allergic but that is
definitely a bad surprise for any of those soldiers in Afghanistan next up is
Amazonian giant centipede these guys didn't get their name for no reason they
can be up to a foot long in length that's right these are as big as that
sandwich you had for lunch they're found all over Central and South America they
have front pincers which can stick into your skin through them they deliver a
potent venom this can be incredibly painful as its acidic and in some cases
it can even take a human's life normally they'd very small animals like birds
rodents bats lizards and spiders and these are also known to crawl up
people's trouser legs in places where they're found so if you ever take a trip
to South America then tuck your trousers into your socks otherwise you may get a
very creepy crawly surprise next up is Goliath spider Goliath spiders are
called that because they are the biggest spiders of all they're about a foot
across bigger than most people's faces they hunt their prey by building a mat
of silk then when a mouse runs over it they're stuck that's right these things
take out large animals like rats and mice they also have fangs inside their
mouths which for an inch long their bite feels like a wasp or bee sting and
unless you're allergic it's uncommon that these would take your life but just
looking at how big these things are is so terrifying because they're so big
they store up a lot of web which allows them to build webs and big traps very
quickly and easily they're found in various countries but mainly in northern
South America you know what I think I might cancel my trip to South America
