To compare the impacts of stinging insects on humans, mainly using himself as the gauge. In The Sting of the Wild, the colorful Dr. Schmidt takes us on a journey inside the lives of stinging insects, seeing the world through their eyes as well as his own. He explains how and why they attack and reveals the powerful punch they can deliver with a small venom gland and a 'sting,' the name for the apparatus that delivers the venom. We learn which insects are the worst to encounter and why some are barely worth considering. The Sting of the Wild includes the complete Schmidt Sting Pain Index, published here for the first time."--Amazon.com.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Business, Science & Technology 595.7165 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Kaimuki Public Library Adult Nonfiction 595.7165 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Mililani Public Library Adult Nonfiction 595.7165 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList Salt Lake-Moanalua Public Library Adult Nonfiction 595.7165 Sc Checked In Add Copy to MyList
