The Sting of the Wild by Justin O. Schmidt

4.0

3.5 rounded up. Another good science book about a topic I know little about (insects), Schmidt is a true entomologist-geek and it gets a bit too geeky in the middle but all of the insects he covers are fascinating. He is famous for developing a sting pain scale which he covers, does not over sell and adds some good humor. Just for quick reference, bee stings=low, bullet ant=avoid at all costs.
