Arizona is home to one of the most venomous insects on Earth 😳🐜

The Maricopa harvester ant is found throughout Arizona and is known for having exceptionally potent venom. Drop for drop, its venom has been measured as more toxic than that of many scorpions and even some rattlesnakes.

They’re small, easy to overlook, and can sting repeatedly if threatened.

Have you ever seen one of these around Arizona? 👀
