10: The Black Sea Urchin
Out of all the creatures with the most painful bites and stings, the black sea urchin is probably the most obvious. Out of all the animals we'll talk about today, the black sea urchin is the most noticeable thing you should never touch.

9: Tarantula Hawk Wasp
Getting stung by a wasp absolutely stinks. It's probably one of the worst experiences you can have while hanging out in your garden just minding your own business. But there is one wasp that has the most painful sting of all.

8: Red Harvester Ant
If you've ever been bitten by a common fire ant, you know that these tiny critters can do some serious damage. However, on the infamous pain scale, fire ants are only rated a 1, while red harvester ants are rated as a 3.

7: Amazon Giant Centipede
The Amazon giant centipede is also known as the Peruvian giant yellowleg centipede. This freak of nature is not only found in the jungles of South America, but also in some areas of the Caribbean. This terrifying critter can be found in the Virgin Islands, in Jamaica, and even in Puerto Rico – so think about this on your next Caribbean vacation.

6: Gila Monster
Let's step back from creepy insects and take a look at the Gila monster, which is one of the scariest and yet somehow cutest reptiles in the world. You can find Gila monsters throughout the northern desert in Mexico and in the southwestern United States.

5: Lionfish Spines
Lionfish are basically the porcupines of the ocean. They may look delicate and harmless with their spiky fins, but they are actually harbingers of serious pain. The lionfish is a meat eater, the female can lay 2 million eggs each year, and they have actually bloomed in numbers in North America because of people releasing them into the wild from their aquariums.

4: Stonefish
The stonefish is another fish that has mastered the art of delivering pain. The problem with the stonefish is that you would never see it coming. These aquatic nightmares blend in perfectly with the rocks on the bottom of the ocean.

3: Pit Viper
It's no surprise that the pit viper is poisonous. But its bite is surprisingly more painful than many other poisonous snakes. And when we're talking pit vipers, we're talking about rattlesnakes, copperheads, and cottonmouths.

2: Bullet Ant
Speaking of unpleasant experiences, there is no worse experience you can have in your life in terms of raw pain than being stung by a bullet ant. As you probably know by now, the bullet ant has the most painful sting out of any insect in the entire world.

1: Box Jellyfish
The box jellyfish is without a doubt one of the most lethal marine animals found in the oceans of our world. Not because it can eat you or bite your head off, but because it can sting. These weird jelly monsters with their clear white tendrils are things that haunt divers in their nightmares.
