STUNG by a TARANTULA HAWK!

刺されると痛い虫ランキング世界第2位 

00:01
- If the bullet ant is the grand finale
00:04
on my quest to find the most painful sting
00:06
in the insect kingdom,
00:08
the tarantula hawk is definitely the last act.
00:13
And right now Mark is shooting B roll of it
00:15
inside this little glass enclosure.
00:17
And boy, it does not look happy.
00:22
(intense buzzing)
00:28
Now they say that the sting of the tarantula hawk
00:29
is number two on the insect sting pain index.
00:33
It's like being stunned with a tazer
00:37
and they say it puts you into a state
00:38
of paralysis for up to five minutes
00:40
where all you can do is scream.
00:44
As you can tell, we're pretty excited about this.
00:48
- [Mark] All right Coyote.
00:49
(deep breathing)
00:50
You okay, man?
00:51
Your heart racing?
00:52
- A million miles a second.
00:53
This is the most nervous I've ever been
00:55
to take a stinger bite from anything.
00:58
My hand is shaking.
00:59
Are you guys all ready?
01:00
- [Mark] Oh yeah, I'm ready if you're ready.
01:02
- I'm ready, I'm ready.
01:03
Here we go.
01:06
I'm Coyote Peterson.
01:08
And I'm about to enter the sting zone
01:10
with the tarantula hawk.
01:13
- [Mark] Go for it.
01:14
- One.
01:15
(exhaling) Two.
01:18
Here we go, three.
01:21
(screaming)
01:24
(drum beat)
01:31
(roaring)
01:37
I think we can all agree that I have done
01:39
some pretty crazy things.
01:42
Like the time where I stuck my arm into
01:43
the mouth of an alligator,
01:45
to show you why getting an alligator as a pet
01:47
is not a good idea.
01:49
Ready, everyone ready?
01:51
Rolling, GoPro rolling.
01:53
Here we go.
01:56
One.
01:59
Two.
02:00
Three. (screaming)
02:03
Ooh yeah, he is into my arm
02:05
and he is holding on.
02:07
Then there was the time I put that same arm
02:10
into a container full of blood sucking leaches
02:12
to show you what it's like
02:14
to be feasted on by one of the world's
02:16
most notorious parasites.
02:18
Look at that.
02:19
They are all over me.
02:20
Oh, I can definitely feel something happening.
02:24
It feels like sandpaper grinding against my skin.
02:27
You guessed it, they drank a lot of blood.
02:30
And it's all about the amount of anti-coagulant
02:32
that actually went into my hand.
02:34
I may be bleeding for hours at this point.
02:37
Oh yeah, then there was that time I took
02:40
a sting from the velvet ant.
02:41
Which is ranked as having the fourth
02:43
most painful sting in the insect kingdom.
02:45
(dramatic music)
02:49
(yelping)
02:51
(groaning)
02:53
Oh my gosh, guys, this is super bad.
02:55
Like I said, I do some pretty crazy things.
02:59
But the reason I do them is so we can learn
03:00
about these animals,
03:02
the dangers of their bites or stings,
03:04
and so that ultimately we walk away
03:06
with a newfound respect for some of the
03:08
coolest creatures on our planet.
03:10
(screaming)
03:11
Aah!
03:12
(groaning)
03:14
Oh that hurts.
03:16
Ow!
03:17
Ah!
03:18
(screaming)
03:20
Ah, can you see that?
03:21
(deep breathing)
03:22
Oh man, this was not a good idea, ladies and gentlemen.
03:27
Woo doggy.
03:30
However, in order to be a part of these experiments,
03:32
I have to first get myself up close with the animals.
03:35
And sometimes that's easier said than done.
03:40
- [Man] Careful!
03:46
He's gonna get it.
03:48
I think he sees it.
03:50
Oh.
03:52
What happened?
03:53
Go, go, go!
03:56
(hollering)
04:01
What's wrong, did you catch it?
04:02
- Yeah, I caught it.
04:03
Oh, but the bad news is,
04:06
I caught something else, too.
04:08
- Oh my goodness.
04:11
That is the worst cholla spike I've ever seen.
04:12
- Oh, hold on a second.
04:13
Hold on, hold on, I don't wanna get stung
04:15
by a tarantula hawk.
04:16
- [Man] They're all over you, man.
04:17
(screaming)
04:19
- Hold on a second, let me get this under control.
04:21
- [Man] Oh my gosh.
04:22
Did you get the tarantula hawk, at least?
04:24
- I did, I did, I caught the tarantula hawk.
04:36
- [Mark] You nervous?
04:38
- [Coyote] Do I look nervous?
04:39
- [Mark] Yep.
04:41
- Yeah, guys, I am the most nervous
04:43
I have ever been before one of these bite or sting episodes.
04:48
As we know, yesterday I made this awesome catch.
04:50
I caught a tarantula hawk and I was so excited.
04:53
And then I fell into a cholla cactus.
04:56
(screaming)
05:02
And then I realized what I had done.
05:05
I set the table for today
05:07
where I'm going to be stung
05:08
by a giant spider wasp.
05:10
Now, the tarantula hawk is the second
05:12
most painful sting in the insect kingdom.
05:16
The only thing more painful than this
05:17
is the bullet ant and I felt that to work
05:21
my way up the rungs of experiencing these painful
05:24
insect stings,
05:25
I kind of had to see what it was like
05:26
to be stung by a tarantula hawk before I actually
05:28
take on the bullet ant challenge.
05:30
Woo, deep breath.
05:33
All right, let's bring in the wasp.
05:36
Oh boy, this is gonna be bad.
05:39
Oh.
05:40
- [Man] Oh boy.
05:41
- Oh my goodness.
05:43
- [Man] That's a big one.
05:44
- That is the largest species of wasp
05:47
in the United States, ladies and gentlemen.
05:50
Now, you look at this insect and you say to yourself,
05:54
tarantula hawk, well it's not a tarantula
05:57
and it's not a hawk.
05:59
But like a hawk they hunt for tarantulas.
06:02
What these females will do is fly around in the sky
06:06
and they can actually sense chemicals in the air
06:08
that will tell them where a tarantula's burrow exists.
06:11
They will land on the ground,
06:13
skitter across, and go down into the burrow.
06:16
They will use their front arms to tempt that tarantula
06:19
to come up out of its burrow.
06:21
And that is where a boxing match begins.
06:23
The tarantula hawk will dodge left and right,
06:26
taunting that tarantula until it rears up
06:28
on its back legs and exposes its fangs.
06:31
Now, you would think that tarantula is going to
06:32
bite down and kill the tarantula hawk.
06:35
Not gonna happen.
06:37
This hawk is so quick,
06:38
she will spin her abdomen up underneath
06:41
the belly of the tarantula,
06:42
insert that quarter inch stinger,
06:44
and the venom will instantly put that tarantula
06:46
into a state of paralysis.
06:48
Now, the tarantula is not dead.
06:51
It's just like this.
06:53
(groaning)
06:54
I'm in intense pain and I cannot move.
06:57
And this, ladies and gentlemen,
06:59
is where the true horror story begins.
07:02
It's in a state of paralysis and the female
07:04
pulls the tarantula back down into its burrow
07:07
and there, she proceeds to lay an egg on top of its abdomen.
07:12
She then leaves the burrow
07:13
and the tarantula is left there,
07:15
still alive and in a permanent state of paralysis.
07:18
Eventually that egg hatches,
07:20
and the larvae then eats the tarantula
07:23
while it's still alive.
07:25
How's that for one crazy horror story?
07:28
Okay, so they say that the sting from the tarantula hawk
07:33
is so painful it will put even a human
07:36
into a state of paralysis for about five minutes.
07:40
I know what you're thinking.
07:41
Coyote, this is absolutely crazy.
07:45
Do you wanna know what Coyote's thinking right now?
07:47
This is absolutely crazy.
07:50
But I think if you guys are ready,
07:51
I am ready to be stung by the tarantula hawk.
07:56
Here we go guys.
07:57
Chance, bring in that butterfly net.
07:59
I'm gonna lift this up.
08:01
We're going to actually place the capsule
08:05
inside of the butterfly net just like that.
08:07
Lift it up and I have a set
08:10
of entomology forceps here.
08:13
See that?
08:14
And these have a very soft tip.
08:15
I'm gonna be able to pick up the wasp
08:17
with these forceps.
08:18
What I'm gonna do first is reach my arm in there
08:21
and remove the glass capsule.
08:23
Once the glass capsule's out,
08:24
the net will fall down on the wasp
08:26
and I'll be able to insert the forceps in there,
08:29
pick up the wasp,
08:30
and remove it from the net.
08:32
Okay, ready, here we go.
08:33
- [Mark] The butterfly net is here to try
08:35
to prevent the wasp from flying away.
08:37
- Yes.
08:38
[Mark] Because how hard was it
08:39
to catch this wasp?
08:40
- Extremely difficult.
08:41
We've been trying for days to catch one of these.
08:43
And it was a very painful experience to get it
08:45
based on the fact that I fell
08:47
into the cholla, okay, ready, here we go.
08:49
You ready?
08:50
- [Mark] I'm ready.
08:51
- I'm removing the glass capsule.
08:53
Trying not to disturb the wasp.
08:56
Okay, this is good.
08:57
- [Mark] Part one, successful.
08:59
- Part one is good, I'm gonna remove the stick.
09:01
Stick is out.
09:03
Okay, now I'm going to fold this over like that.
09:06
- [Mark] This is the last little break
09:07
between you and being stung,
09:09
what's going through your mind?
09:10
(deep breath)
09:12
- What's going through my mind is don't get stung
09:14
right now just through the net.
09:16
I have to get it perfectly with the entomology forceps.
09:20
If I don't get it right on its thorax,
09:21
we can't make this happen.
09:23
- [Mark] I don't know, man,
09:24
I think you're kind of stalling.
09:25
- I'm not stalling.
09:26
Trust me, I'm not stalling.
09:27
Oh boy.
09:29
- [Mark] Careful.
09:31
Oh boy.
09:32
- Got it.
09:33
- [Mark] Oh boy.
09:35
- [Coyote] That is the position that we want.
09:36
- [Mark] Oh boy, okay,
09:37
so we gotta hurry up and do this.
09:38
- That is a perfect hold right there.
09:40
Now, before, look how much my hand is shaking.
09:43
Hold on.
09:44
(mumbling)
09:47
Okay, we've got a really good hold.
09:50
- [Mark] Wow, look at that abdomen going.
09:51
- I got a really good hold on her.
09:52
It took me a minute to get the right hold
09:54
but the right hold is what is important.
09:56
Now, I do have the glass capsule right here
10:00
so I'm hoping that I have the wherewithall
10:02
after the sting to quickly pick up the glass
10:04
enclosure and put it back over top of the wasp
10:07
so it doesn't escape and we can get some more
10:09
bebo shots with it.
10:10
But, guys, do be aware that if I do immediately
10:13
go into a state of paralysis,
10:14
just let the wasp fly away.
10:17
Don't try to grab it, don't do anything.
10:18
It will be back into the wild and everything will be fine.
10:21
- [Mark] All right, Coyote.
10:22
You okay, man?
10:24
Your heart racing?
10:26
- A million miles a second.
10:27
This is the most nervous I've ever been
10:29
to take a stinger bite from anything.
10:31
My hand is shaking.
10:33
Are you guys all ready?
10:34
- [Mark] Oh yeah, I'm ready if you're ready.
10:36
- I'm ready, I'm ready.
10:37
Okay, here we go.
10:40
I'm Coyote Peterson, and I'm about to enter the sting zone
10:43
with the tarantula hawk.
10:46
- [Mark] Go for it.
10:47
- One.
10:50
(deep breath) Two.
10:51
Here we go, three.
10:59
(screaming)
11:02
(groaning)
11:08
- [Mark] You all right?
11:09
(groaning)
11:10
(screaming)
11:13
- Oh my gosh!
11:14
Ow!
11:21
(screaming)
11:23
- [Mark] Tell me what you're feeling?
11:25
- I can't move my arm.
11:28
(groaning)
11:33
(heavy breathing)
11:35
That is the most intense pain I've ever felt.
11:38
Don't think I can talk.
11:42
(groaning)
11:47
(wincing)
11:50
- [Mark] Are you okay, man?
11:51
I'm getting nervous.
11:52
Are you feeling anything like,
11:53
do we need to be worried?
11:54
- No, I just can't move my arm.
12:00
I think I'm gonna cry.
12:03
Coyote Peterson doesn't cry though, right?
12:05
(groaning)
12:09
It is, it's like my arm is in a state of paralysis
12:11
right now.
12:12
Aah. (groaning)
12:20
- [Mark] Do you need anything?
12:21
- Right there.
12:22
Oh wow.
12:24
Oh wow.
12:26
Aah.
12:28
Argh.
12:29
- [Mark] It looks like your arm is swollen up.
12:30
(groaning)
12:32
- Oh, second wave of pain!
12:35
(groaning)
12:39
(heavy breathing)
12:44
It's actually receding at this point.
12:47
Ah, wow.
12:51
(heavy breathing)
12:54
That zone right there is a hot, radiating pain.
12:58
And you can see the stinger,
12:59
where it went in right there,
13:01
that red mark, I've read that it's like getting tazed
13:03
with a tazer gun.
13:05
I've never been tazed before,
13:07
but I can tell you that the pain is unbelievable right now.
13:11
All up and down my forearm.
13:14
Wow, I actually slightly liken it
13:16
to the gila monster at this point,
13:18
it feels really hot.
13:19
Really, really hot.
13:21
Ah, ah hot to the touch.
13:24
Wow, it's, push it,
13:26
see if my arm is warm to you.
13:27
- [Mark] Oh yeah, it's all really,
13:29
it's like really hot.
13:30
- Oh, let me walk around for a second.
13:35
Oh.
13:38
Ah.
13:40
Okay, okay.
13:42
Let's come back into the scene here.
13:44
Ah, ah you little bugger.
13:46
Ah, I am lightheaded at the moment but
13:49
the sting from the tarantula hawk is serious.
13:52
I can see why it's ranked as a two
13:54
on the insect sting pain index.
13:57
And at this juncture, I think it's safe to say
13:59
that I have worked my way up the ladder
14:01
and I'm ready for the bullet ant challenge.
14:04
I know you are all waiting in anticipation for that one.
14:07
Trust me, it's coming.
14:09
I'm Coyote Peterson, be brave.
14:11
Stay wild, we'll see you on the next adventure.
14:15
All right, let's let this go back off
14:17
into the desert.
14:19
We safely release the tarantula hawk
14:21
back into the wild and as it flew away
14:23
I think we were all a bit relieved
14:25
that this sting was over and done with.
14:28
And while the impact of the sting
14:30
and the intensity of the pain
14:31
was far superior to that of the velvet ant,
14:34
it only lasted for about five minutes.
14:36
I had no major adverse reactions,
14:38
however, my arm was sore for the rest of the day.
14:42
And 24 hours later,
14:43
it looked like a water balloon
14:45
and it really itches.
14:48
And I really shouldn't itch it but ah,
14:52
that feels so good.
14:53
The tarantula hawk is an extraordinary insect.
14:57
And while their sting is powerful,
14:58
they have no interest in stinging humans.
15:01
If you ever see one in the wild,
15:03
admire it from a safe distance,
15:05
as you have absolutely nothing to fear.
15:08
That is, unless you are a tarantula.
15:13
Have you ever wondered how to properly
15:14
care for an insect sting?
15:16
If so, make sure to check out this behind the adventure
15:18
and don't forget to subscribe
15:20
so you can join me and the crew
15:22
on this season of Breaking Trail.
15:24
Oh, that may be the best feeling I have had all day.
15:29
(sighing)
