520    Entomologist Justin O. Schmidt is on a mission. Some say 
       it's a brave exploration, others shake their heads in 
       disbelief. His goal? To compare the impacts of stinging 
       insects on humans, mainly using himself as the gauge. In 
       The Sting of the Wild, the colorful Dr. Schmidt takes us 
       on a journey inside the lives of stinging insects, seeing 
       the world through their eyes as well as his own. He 
       explains how and why they attack and reveals the powerful 
       punch they can deliver with a small venom gland and a 
       "sting," the name for the apparatus that delivers the 
       venom. We learn which insects are the worst to encounter 
       and why some are barely worth considering. The Sting of 
       the Wild includes the complete Schmidt Sting Pain Index. 
       In addition to a numerical ranking of the agony of each of
       the eighty-three stings he's sampled so far (from below 1 
       to an excruciatingly painful 4), Schmidt describes them in
       prose worthy of a professional wine critic: "Looks 
       deceive. Rich and full-bodied in appearance, but 
       flavorless" and "Pure, intense, brilliant pain. Like 
       walking over flaming charcoal with a three-inch nail 
       embedded in your heel."
