The narrative is a description of a series of experiments conducted to determine the pain level of various insect stings. The journey begins with the harvester ant and progresses to the velvet ants, a cow killer wasp, a tarantula hawk, and finally the warrior wasp, which is ranked as having the most painful sting in the insect kingdom. The narrator, Coyote Peterson, undergoes the painful process of getting stung by each insect for educational purposes. The sting from the warrior wasp is described as more painful than the bullet ant. After each sting, Peterson is treated for the pain and releases the insect back into the wild. The narrative ends with the discovery of a new species of wasp, the executioner wasp, whose sting pain level has yet to be officially documented and ranked.
