Many insects can cause significant harm to health, and some can even kill. Today we will talk about those species that you should be wary of in Russia.
The video version of the article can be viewed here (the text version is continued below):
Red cockroach.
Ants. Despite the fact that in the Russian Federation there are no such animals as the “bullet ant” (the pain from the sting of this creature is comparable to a gunshot wound) or the “24-hour ant” (the pain remains on one high level within 24 hours), and other most bloodthirsty representatives, our domestic ants can also pose a threat. Like cockroaches, they carry various pathogenic bacteria, which can then enter the human body and cause various diseases: typhoid fever, cholera, etc. Therefore, ants in the house are as undesirable as cockroaches! And our ants bite, too, and they can cause a lot of problems, especially for inexperienced tourists (I had experience)! Although we must not forget about the merits of ants, which save vegetation from pests.
Forest ant.
Flea.
Midges or midges, this is the name given to very unpleasant small insects (mostly humpbacked mosquitoes) whose size is less than 5 mm, attacking not only people, but also animals. Their strength is in numbers, huddled together they will not give you peace. By biting, substances will be injected into you, causing swelling at the site of the bite, redness, itching; if the midge frolics to its fullest, other manifestations of an allergic reaction may appear, such as an increase in temperature, sometimes up to 40 degrees! You will find the most ferocious types of midges in the tundra region (they are called tundra midges or Kholodkovsky midges). Then swelling and other effects fade into the background, because you can catch plague, tularemia, and other terrible diseases.
Mosquitoes- are not as harmless as they seem, many of these creatures are carriers of diseases such as malaria, dengue, yellow fever, encephalitis, Zika fever and others. Malaria alone kills about 200,000 people worldwide every year. There are about 10 species found on the territory of our Motherland. malaria mosquito, they are found in the European part of our country, as well as in Western Siberia.
Mosquitoes.
Wohlfart fly.
Horseflies- terrible creatures who adore blood. There are about 200 species of horseflies in Russia. They carry many diseases, such as anthrax. In addition, the bites themselves are very painful. Biting horseflies inject anticoagulants and toxins, which slow down blood clotting, and the wounds bleed for a long time and do not heal.
Horsefly of the genus Tabanus.
Oestrus ovis.
Bees- creatures worthy of respect and playing a significant role in our lives, allowing us to enjoy honey! However, they can also pose a risk to people, despite the fact that they are not aggressive and only attack in defense. Bees are not only hardworking, but also dexterous, and it is not so easy to brush aside this honey plant! It is necessary to understand that if it stings you, then it itself will die, since along with the sting, which gets stuck in the body of the object of attack, the bee also loses part of its internal organs. At the same time, special substances are released that attract other bees who are ready to sacrifice themselves (for this reason, crushing honey-bearing creatures is also not recommended), and the bees live in large families! In addition to the pain from the sting, some people are hypersensitive to their venom, which can cause allergic angioedema, which can result in death. It is very undesirable for all people if the bite is applied to the tongue, pharynx or palate, because the resulting swelling can block air flow and lead to asphyxia.
After an attack, bees recommend taking antihistamine, remove the sting with tweezers and apply ice. Do not scratch the stung area, you can get an infection and get skin damage! Squeezing out the sting with your fingers is also not recommended. If the person bitten suffers from allergies, it is recommended to give an injection of adrenaline, which will reduce the allergic reaction and also save life.
Bee.
Wasps- very annoying and dangerous! Especially for allergy sufferers, for whom a sting threatens death! They don't give you honey! After they sting you, they don’t die, so they can repeat the procedure again and again! They get into bags and fly into public transport They organize parties near fruit shops and stalls, they like to test your nerves. However, it cannot be said that wasps are completely useless; they help get rid of garden pests and flies.
Bumblebee- the insect is beautiful and one might even say kind. It pollinates its own flowers and does not bother people. I remember how my grandfather picked up several bumblebees and they calmly crawled across his palms without biting! However, not everything is so rosy, in fact, a bumblebee bite is very painful, and in 1% of the world's population, it can also cause an anaphelactic reaction, the likelihood of which increases with a repeated attack, and if you manage to get many bites, you can even die.
Hornets-can attack for no reason, cause serious allergic reactions leading to death, read about their most terrible representative below.
Asian giant hornet- the horror of Asia and the largest hornet in the world. The length of the body is already 5 cm! Found only in the Primorsky Territory. However, with the inexorable advance global warming their habitat is constantly expanding. The Asian giant itself is aggressive and cruel, much more than the bees, whose heads it literally blows off with its massive jaws! Then it grinds it into biomass and brings it to your hive as food for the larvae! A hornet can kill 300 bees in an hour, and if a beehive is attacked by a small group of hornets, then about 30,000 die in an hour. The bees fight to the death and defend themselves as best they can, but if attacked by a group of these giants, they are doomed! Having killed everyone, the attackers grab honey and larvae. The only chance for bees in a fight with the enemy is to destroy the “scout” who has not yet had time to inform his relatives about what he has found bee hive. They do it this way: having lured the “scout” into their hive, they rush at him en masse and while he destroys the bees closest to him, the rest, vibrating with their wings, create a temperature equal to 50 degrees Celsius. At this temperature, protein compounds are destroyed. The hornet and the bees closest to it die, but the hive is saved.
Asian giant hornet.
For people, an encounter with this giant can also end in disaster, because its venom not only destroys tissue, but also contains a neurotoxin that paralyzes the nervous system, and an allergic reaction to a sting can lead to anaphylactic shock and subsequent death! In addition, the hornet's sting, which it usually inflicts at speed, is extremely painful. Those unfortunate people who have felt the intensity of pain compare the attack of a hornet to a blow from a heavy sledgehammer.
Beetles with powerful jaws. Such as ground beetles, stag beetles, longhorned beetles, swimming beetles and others are capable of biting through the skin, which can be quite painful.
Swimmer.
Poisonous bugs. In principle, they do not inject poison, so there is no need to fear that you will be poisoned through the bitten skin. However, beetles can be poisonous because their blood, the so-called hemolymph, contains toxic substances, for example, cantharidin. If this chemical compound gets into the blood or mucous membranes, everything can end badly, including death. The most concentrated hemolymph in this sense is in such beetles as ladybugs of the genus “Coccinellidae”, redwings “Lycidae”, babies “Melyridae”, soft beetles “Cantharidae” and blister beetles “Meloidae”; more about them below.
Bug beetle- has about 70 varieties and is very poisonous. The reason is cantharidin, which is contained in the body of the beetle. If this substance gets on your skin, it will undoubtedly leave abscesses and blisters on it. Once in the wound, it has a negative effect on the functioning of the urinary tract and kidneys. If it gets into the blood, death is possible! It’s no joke, in the Middle Ages many rulers were vilely poisoned by the poison of these very insects and died in terrible suffering. You can absolutely protect yourself only by eliminating all contact with blisters.
The beetle is a blister beetle.
Large ground beetles. Especially common in our country is “Carabus”, which shoots a caustic liquid from the back of the body, and quite far at a distance of 30 - 50 cm. If it gets on the skin, this liquid can cause a burning sensation, but if it gets into the eyes, it is already fraught for vision, especially if you do not immediately rinse your eyes with plenty of water.
Ground beetle.
There are other dangerous creatures covered with chitinous shells, such as ticks and spiders, that are not insects.

The millions of species of insects that live on earth today play a vital role in our planet's ecosystem. Although most of them are safe, some can cause a lot of trouble for a person, and some can be poisonous and even deadly. From familiar ants and flies to more exotic beetles, here's a list of the 25 most dangerous insects in the world.
1. Termites
Termites do not pose a direct danger to humans; they play an important role for environment Moreover, in some cultures they are even eaten. But at the same time, baby termites can cause enormous damage to infrastructure, sometimes making houses completely uninhabitable.
2. Lice
3. Black-legged tick
Each year, the black-legged tick infects thousands of people with Lyme disease, which begins with a rash around the bite that resembles a bull's eye. Early symptoms of this disease include headache and fever. As the disease progresses, the victim begins to suffer from problems with the cardiovascular system. Few people die from these bites, but the effects can last for years after an unpleasant tick encounter.
4. Nomadic ants
The first creature on our list that is dangerous in the literal sense of the word is stray ants, known for their predatory aggression. Unlike other ant species, roving ants do not build their own permanent anthills. Instead, they create colonies that migrate from one place to another. These predators constantly move throughout the day, hunting insects and small vertebrates. In fact, the entire combined colony can kill more than half a million insects and small animals in one day.
5. Wasp
Most wasps pose little direct danger, but certain varieties, such as the German wasp North America, reach large sizes and can be incredibly aggressive. If they sense danger or notice an invasion of their territory, they can sting repeatedly and very painfully. They will mark their aggressors and in some cases chase them.
6. Black Widow
Although the sting of a female black widow spider can be very dangerous to humans due to the neurotoxins released during the bite, if necessary medical attention is provided promptly, the consequences of the bite will be limited to only some pain. Unfortunately, isolated cases of death from a black widow bite still occurred.
7. Hairy Caterpillar Coquette Moth
Megalopyge opercularis moth caterpillars look cute and furry, but don't be fooled by their cartoonish appearance: they are extremely poisonous.
Usually people believe that it is the hairs themselves that sting, but in reality the poison is released through the spines hidden in this “fur”. The spines are extremely brittle and remain in the skin after touching. The poison causes a burning sensation around the affected area, headache, dizziness, vomiting, sharp abdominal pain, damage to the lymph nodes and sometimes respiratory arrest.
8. Cockroaches
The cockroach is known as a carrier of many diseases dangerous to humans. Main danger living together with cockroaches is that they get into toilets, trash cans and other places where bacteria accumulate, and as a result, are their carriers. Cockroaches can cause many diseases: from worms and dysentery to tuberculosis and typhoid. Cockroaches can carry fungi, single-celled organisms, bacteria and viruses. And here's a fun fact - they can live for months without food or water.
10. Bed bugs
A person does not directly feel the bite itself, since the bedbug’s saliva contains an anesthetic substance. If the bug is unable to get to the blood capillary the first time, it can bite a person several times. Severe itching begins at the site of the bug bite, and a blister may also appear. Occasionally, people experience a severe allergic reaction to a bug bite. Fortunately, 70 percent of people experience little to no effects from them.
Bedbugs are household insects and do not belong to the group of vectors infectious diseases, however, in their body they can retain pathogens that transmit infections through the blood for a long time, for example, viral hepatitis B; pathogens of plague, tularemia, and Q-fever can also persist. They cause the greatest harm to people with their bites, depriving a person of normal rest and sleep, which can subsequently negatively affect moral health and performance.
11. Human gadfly
12. Centipede
The centipede (Scutigera coleoptrata) is an insect also called the flycatcher, which supposedly appeared in the Mediterranean. Although other sources talk about Mexico. The centipede has become very common throughout the world. Although the appearance of such insects is unattractive, they generally perform useful work, as they eat other insect pests and even spiders. True, with entomophobia (fear of insects) such an argument will not help. Usually people kill them because they are unpleasant appearance, although in some southern countries centipedes are even protected.
The flycatcher is a predator; they inject poison into the prey and then kill it. Flycatchers often settle in apartments without causing damage to food or furniture. They love moisture; centipedes can often be found in basements, under bathtubs, and in toilets. Flycatchers live from 3 to 7 years; newborns have only 4 pairs of legs, increasing them by one with each new moult.
Typically, a bite from such an insect is not alarming to humans, although it may be comparable to a minor bee sting. For some it may even be painful, but usually it is limited to tears. Of course, centipedes are not the insects that are responsible for thousands of deaths, but many of us would be surprised to learn that someone dies from these bites every year. The fact is that an allergic reaction to insect venom is possible, but this still happens extremely rarely.
Even though scorpions do not belong to insects, since they belong to the order of arthropods from the class of arachnids, we still included them in this list, especially since black scorpions are the most dangerous species Scorpios. Most of them live in South Africa, they can be found especially often in desert areas. Black scorpions are distinguished from other species by their thick tails and thin legs. Black scorpions sting by injecting their victim with venom, which can cause pain, paralysis and even death.
Paraponera clavata is a species of large tropical ants from the genus Paraponera Smith and the subfamily Paraponerinae (Formicidae), which have a strong sting. This ant is called a bullet because victims of its bite compare it to being shot from a pistol.
A person bitten by such an ant may feel throbbing and constant pain for 24 hours after the bite. Some local Indian tribes (Satere-Mawe, Maue, Brazil) use these ants in very painful initiation rites for boys. adult life(which leads to temporary paralysis and even blackening of the stung fingers). During the study chemical composition poison, a paralyzing neurotoxin (peptide) called poneratoxin was isolated from it.
Also known as Phoneutria, Brazilian wandering spiders are venomous creatures that live in tropical South America and Central America. In the 2010 Guinness Book of Records, this type of spider was named the most poisonous spider in the world.
The venom of this genus of spiders contains a powerful neurotoxin known as PhTx3. In lethal concentrations, this neurotoxin causes loss of muscle control and breathing problems, leading to paralysis and eventual suffocation. The bite is of average pain, the venom causes immediate infection of the lymphatic system, entering the bloodstream in 85% of cases leads to heart failure. Patients feel wild rigor during life; in men, priapism sometimes occurs. There is an antidote that is used on par with antibiotics, but due to the severity of the damage to the body from the poison, the detoxification procedure is essentially equal to the victim's chance of survival.
African bees (also known as killer bees) are descendants of bees brought from Africa to Brazil in the 1950s in an attempt to improve that country's honey production. Some African queens have begun to interbreed with native European bees. The resulting hybrids moved north and are still found in Southern California.
African bees look the same and in most cases behave similarly to the European bees that currently live in the United States. They can only be detected by DNA analysis. Their stings are also no different from the sting of an ordinary bee. One very important difference between the two species is the defensive behavior of African bees, which is exhibited when defending their nest. In some attacks in South America, African bees have killed livestock and people. This behavior has earned AMPs the nickname “killer bees.”
Additionally, this type of bee is known for behaving like an invader. Swarms of them attack the hives of the common honey bee, invading them and installing their queen. They attack in large colonies and are ready to destroy anyone who encroaches on their queen.
Although not generally perceived as dangerous, fleas transmit numerous diseases between animals and people. Throughout history, they have contributed to the spread of many diseases, such as the bubonic plague.
Fire ants are several related ants from the Solenopsis saevissima species-group of the genus Solenopsis, which have a strong sting and poison, the effect of which is similar to a burn from a flame (hence their name). More commonly, this name refers to the invasive red fire ant, which has spread throughout the world. There are known cases of a person being stung by one ant with serious consequences, anaphylactic shock, even death.
The second spider on our list, the brown recluse, does not release neurotoxins like the black widow. Its bite destroys tissue and can cause damage that can take months to heal.
The bite very often goes unnoticed, but in most cases the sensations are similar to those of a needle prick. Then within 2-8 hours the pain makes itself felt. Further, the situation develops depending on the amount of poison that enters the blood. The venom of the brown recluse spider has a hemolytic effect, which means it causes necrosis and tissue destruction. The bite can be fatal for small children, elderly and sick people.
Siafu (Dorylus) - these nomadic ants mainly live in Eastern and Central Africa, but are also found in tropical Asia. The insects live in colonies that can number up to 20 million individuals, all of them blind. They make their journeys with the help of pheromones. The colony has no permanent place residence, wandering from place to place. While moving to feed the larvae, insects attack all invertebrate animals.
Among such ants there is a special group - soldiers. They are the ones who can sting, for which they use their hook-shaped jaws, and the size of such individuals reaches 13 mm. Soldiers' jaws are so strong that in some places in Africa they are even used to secure stitches. The wound may remain closed for as long as 4 days. Usually, after a Siafu bite, the consequences are minimal; you don’t even need to call a doctor. True, it is believed that young and elderly people are especially sensitive to the bites of such ants, and deaths from complications after contact have been observed. As a result, every year, according to statistics, from 20 to 50 people die from these insects. This is facilitated by their aggressiveness, especially when defending their colony, which a person can accidentally attack.
Many of us have seen bumblebees - they seem quite small, and there is no particular reason to be afraid of them. Now imagine a bumblebee that grew up as if on steroids, or just look at the Asian giant. These hornets are the largest in the world - their length can reach 5 cm, and their wingspan is 7.5 centimeters. The sting length of such insects can be up to 6 mm, but neither a bee nor a wasp can compare with such a bite; bumblebees can also sting repeatedly. Such dangerous insects cannot be found in Europe or the USA, but when traveling around East Asia and the mountains of Japan, you can meet them. To understand the consequences of a bite, it is enough to listen to eyewitnesses. They compare the sensation of a bumblebee sting to a hot nail driven into the leg.
Sting venom has 8 various connections, which cause discomfort and damage soft fabrics and creating a scent that can attract more bumblebees to the prey. People who are allergic to bees can die from a reaction, but there have been cases of death due to the mandorotoxin venom, which can be dangerous if it gets deep enough into the body. It is believed that about 70 people die from such bites every year. It is curious, but the sting is not the main hunting weapon of bumblebees - they crush their enemies with their large jaws.
The tsetse fly lives in tropical and subtropical Africa, having chosen the Kalahari and Sahara deserts. Flies are carriers of trypanosomiasis, which causes sleeping sickness in animals and humans. Tsetse are anatomically very similar to their common relatives - they can be distinguished by the proboscis on the front of the head and the special manner in which the wings are folded. It is the proboscis that allows them to obtain the main food - the blood of wild mammals in Africa. On this continent there are 21 species of such flies, which can reach from 9 to 14 mm in length.
You should not consider flies so harmless to humans, because they actually kill people, doing this quite often. It is believed that in Africa, up to 500 thousand people are infected with sleeping sickness, transmitted by this particular insect. The disease disrupts the activity of the endocrine and cardiac systems. Then gets amazed nervous system, causing confusion and sleep disturbance. Attacks of fatigue give way to hyperactivity.
The last major epidemic was recorded in Uganda in 2008; in general, the disease is on the WHO list of forgotten ones. However, in Uganda alone, 200 thousand people have died from sleeping sickness over the past 6 years. The disease is believed to be largely responsible for the deteriorating economic situation in Africa. It is curious that flies attack any warm object, even a car, but they do not attack a zebra, considering it just a flash of stripes. Tsetse flies also saved Africa from soil erosion and overgrazing caused by cattle.
The man came up with different methods fight these insects. In the 30s on west coast destroyed all wild pigs, but this gave results only for 20 years. Now they are fighting by shooting wild animals, cutting down bushes and treating male flies with radiation in order to deprive them of the opportunity to reproduce.
Summer and children When flowers open on plants, bumblebees, wasps, bees, flies, butterflies and beetles fill the gardens, forests and meadows. From early morning they swarm in the flowers, looking for pollen and sweet juice - nectar.
There is a strict correspondence between the structure of a flower and the insect that visits it. For example, on clover flowers you can most often find a bumblebee and a bee. Only the bumblebee, thanks to its long proboscis, can obtain nectar hidden at the bottom of the tubular corollas, while bees get it by biting through the flowers. Beetles and flies, with their short proboscis, can reach nectar only from those flowers where it is located shallowly.
Among the butterflies fluttering over the flowering meadow there are some very beautiful ones: the peacock's eye - which received its name for the large spots on its wings, the mourning butterfly - a butterfly with velvety dark wings with a light border and a number of blue spots on their lower edges, the admiral, the swallowtail, etc.
A green caterpillar with red dots can be found on the umbels of wild carrots. When touched, she releases her horns. If such a caterpillar is planted in a cage and fed with carrot and parsley leaves, it grows and turns into a pupa from which a swallowtail butterfly flies out.
On plants - slumber, firecracker, tobacco, whose flowers are closed during the day, open and smell only in the evening, you can find moths. Sandman secretes nectar only before rain, only then do these insects sit on its flowers.
In June there is a buzz in the apiaries: bees begin to swarm. In the garden, vegetable garden, forest and field you can find many ladybugs. This round red bug with seven black dots on the upper side is popularly called the “sun”; it is protected because it cleanses cultivated plants from aphids. The bug's defense against enemies is the unpleasant-smelling, bitter blood that it secretes when it is squeezed.
Horseflies, gadflies, and burner flies appear in the meadow after haymaking. The latter, unlike house flies, have a sharp proboscis with which they pierce the skin, “biting” painfully.
On hot July days, grasshoppers chirp loudly. They have long whiskers, two pairs of wings and long hind legs that help them make large jumps. Only the male chirps. On its left elytra there is a transverse vein with a fine jagged edge, and on its right there is a membrane with swollen edges. The grasshopper, like a bow on a string, rubs a jagged vein along the edge of a swollen membrane, which causes the sound.
Along forest paths and at the edge of the forest, where Ivan da Marya still continues to bloom, you can meet ants that drag its seeds to their nests. The latter often get lost along the way and germinate at some distance from the mother plant. You can find celandine near the anthill. Its seeds, equipped with a comb, are dragged by the ants to the nest. When they eat scallops, they leave behind seeds that germinate here. Ants can be observed dragging not only seeds, but also herbs, pieces of pine needles, flies, beetles, and small caterpillars. On the plants near the anthill there are ladybugs that hunt for aphids. The ants drag the aphids towards them and “milk” them by licking the sweet liquid they secrete.
On hot and calm days, ants appear in the air making their mating flight. After the flight, the males die, and the females bite off their wings and return to the old nest or lay a new one. The anthill is located on the edge of the forest near trees and stumps.
Ants destroy a lot of harmful insects, protecting our plants from them, so anthills need to be protected.
On warm summer evenings, greenish-blue “lights” can be seen in the grass and bushes - this is the glow of the end of the abdomen of wingless female fireflies. He lives in damp places.
In reservoirs with stagnant water, water strider bugs scurry around in quick jerks, with their long thin legs spread wide apart, small whirling bugs whirl, swimming beetles, water-loving beetles and their larvae swim.
Worm-like red larvae of the pusher mosquito - bloodworms - live on plants and sticks immersed in water. This best food for fish in the aquarium. Dragonfly larvae can be found on underwater plants. They have large eyes, wing rudiments on their backs and a long abdomen. The lower lip of the larva is elongated and at the end it forms a kind of pincers, with which it grabs prey - small aquatic animals. In a calm state, the lip is folded and covers the “face”. Before the last molt, the dragonfly larva emerges from the water and attaches itself to the stems of grass. It is good to transfer such a larva to a corner of nature and watch its transformation.
Dragonflies fly not far from the water: blue beauties flutter near the thickets of reeds and sedges. Sedentary small dragonflies are found in the grass. The largest ones - the yoke - do not flutter: after flapping their Wings several times, they glide in the air, grabbing prey in flight - small insects.

Summer is wonderful for everyone, and even the heat can be tolerated, but one circumstance can easily poison all the pleasure: in the summer we are bitten all the time. If it's not mosquitoes, it's flies; it's not midges, it's horseflies; and it can be even worse - the forest is full of ticks, and in the steppe it's no wonder you stumble upon a snake. But let's take it in order...
1. WASPES are evil creatures. They attack people when they sense danger, but they can also sting just because - for example, if they don’t like the way you smell. To avoid falling victim to a wasp, it is better not to use strong-smelling perfumes and wear clothes in light, soothing colors. Wasps have a smooth proboscis, so they come out of a fight unharmed, and then can sting again. These insects love landfills and garbage cans, so they can carry infection.
2. The midge (aka midge) bites differently than other summer aggressors. She chews out a piece of skin, which is why her bites itch more, heal more slowly, and scratching makes them easier to become infected. The midge does not have any special character or habits - it attacks in clouds everything that gives off heat. She prefers calm conditions and shady places.
3. It is believed that FLIES begin to bite only towards the end of summer - they allegedly become angrier and more aggressive. This is not so: not all flies bite, but only blood-sucking ones: in our country these are flies, in Africa - the infamous tsetse flies, in America - deer flies. These insects carry about 60 different diseases, including conjunctivitis and trachoma, so their bites must be disinfected. And especially not to catch them with your hands!
4. Fleas also have a “blood” relationship with people - they bite because they cannot do otherwise. Usually they are content with dogs and cats (there are dog fleas and cat fleas), but they do not disdain people either. It is easy to identify flea bites: the flea bites several times in places hidden by clothing - “paths” of bites are formed. By the way, among others, fleas are long-lived, living from one to four years. IN warm apartments They live in mattresses, pet beds, in cracks and under baseboards.
5. MOSQUITOES and HORDLES do not sting out of harm, like wasps, but for the sake of human blood. At the same time, having bitten, they secrete an anticoagulant substance, which prevents the blood from clotting - this is necessary so that the insect can drink enough of it. Having drunk, the mosquito will fly off about its mosquito business, and will leave the person with an itchy, reddened bite site. Actually, itching is an allergy to that same anticoagulant substance. It is interesting that horse flies, having attached themselves, completely lose all vigilance - at this moment you can calmly pick them up with your hands.
