Creepy crawlers can keep us up at night, but did you know that some creepy crawlers are actually extremely deadly? As if Spiders weren't scary enough, here's more for you to worry about. We're counting down the top 5 most Deadliest insects

MOST DEADLIEST INSECTSTOP 5

GIANT JAPANESE HORNETSAs if Hornets weren't already scary, let's make them 3 inches full grown and give them lethal amounts of toxins.

Oh, and did I forget to mention that the chemical insect stings is called Acetylcholine, and these hornets happen to have more of it in their sting than ANY other stinging insect.

Great....

If that's not nasty enough, they actually have a specific enzyme in their venom thatbreaks down and dissolves human tissue.

Can you imagine this thing stinging you overand over and over again? How about 50? It only takes them about 25 to take down an entirehive of honeybees.

FIRE ANTS

We've all had encounters with fire ants growing up as kids no doubt. They tend to live and build rather larger mounds to nest in and usually only eat smaller insects.

They can get pretty nasty when provoked, and actually swarm. Fire ants get their name from their stinging burning bite they unleash and are capable of killing a human with a swarm of fire ants.

There is on average 100+ deaths reported a day alone from Fire Ants around the world. They are among some of the most feared ants

KISSING BUGLiked to be kissed? Probably not by this guy. He's known as the Kissing Bug and he likesto suck blood! And blood specifically from your lips, as strange as that is.

While their kissing may not be deadly, the parasite they spread called Trypanosome Cruzi actually kills around 12,000 people yearly.

They are known to also cause severe rashes and welts on your skin in addition to the parasite they commonly spread.

THE BULLET ANT

These guys are absolutely no joke. They are the most painful thing you could possibly endure.

They are the largest ant family currently existing. They mainly populate dense rainforests and jungles in Nicaragua and the surrounding areas.

The pain that comes from being stung by one of these guys is said to be 30x more painfulthan a wasp, and feels like being shot with a bullet.

If that's not bad, the pain also intensifies after the bite and lasts for a whole 24 hours. You better hope it's only one stinging and biting you because when they attack, they automatically release a pheromone that tells others to attack with them.

In certain indigenous tribes, it is but one of several rite of passages to becoming a man.You are to stick your hand in a woven glove filled with bullet ants and endure it for 10 min straight. I'll pass thank you.

MOSQUITOESBelieve it or not, Mosquitoes are actually the most deadly species of insect on the planet. It's not their bite, it's not their sting and It's definitely not their venom.

Mosquitoes passively kill millions of humans through passing on deadly diseases straight into your blood.

For a lot of these parasites and diseases they can only be transmitted via blood and guess who is ready to give it to you? Mosquitoes

They also transmit other very deadly disease such a but not limited to: Lyme Disease, Dengue Fever, Encephalitis, West Nile Virus as well as Yellow Fever.

Think about it, it's like a tiny piece of virus or bacteria injecting itself into your blood stream.

That's pretty hardcore! In other parts of the world this is a deadly problem as over 500 million cases of malaria pop up yearly.
