On this adventure Mark takes on the world's first ever sting from a Panda Ant! The team tracked down the "world's smallest panda" in the mountains of Chile and so far no one on record has ever taken on the sting of this velvet ant species - so this is truly uncharted territory in the world of the sting index.
How does the sting of the Panda Ant stack up to the Bullet Ant and others on the sting pain index? You're about to find out!

Major respect to Mark for his honesty with the severity (or mildness) of the stings. It would have been easy to pretend that this previously undocumented sting was off the chart like some new sting king just for the clicks and the clout, but it takes real integrity to admit it wasn't that bad. Regardless of the severity of the pain, finding not one but two specimens and cataloging the sting for reference was commendable!

I have to imagine they did their research before doing this. You don't just casually let an unknown creature sting you without a solid plan. My guess is that being in the same family of velvet ants and ground wasps they already had a fair idea of what it was going to be like and just played up the unknown element for the algorithm.
