The Sting of the Wild by Justin O. Schmidt

5.0

This book was interesting. I picked it up after watching Kings of Pain and learning about Schmidt's work with stinging insects and his creation of the pain scale. The book is easily readable and not filled with dry facts or tons of hard to pronounce words. It was a fun mix of anecdotal stories and information. It's broken into nice sections, with most of the book taking focus on certain species. Schmidt's sense of humor comes through, especially with his pain scale descriptions, which are definitely worth reading. I'm happy to have picked this up!
