STUNG by a TARANTULA HAWK!

“That is the most intense pain I’ve ever felt,” says Coyote Peterson after finally catching his breath. “Don’t think I can talk.”

This giant wasp is considered to have the second-most painful sting of any insect and Coyote aka Nathaniel Peterson, host of the Brave Wilderness Channel allowed himself to be stung by one. The video has been viewed over 14M times...
