"The tarantula hawk’s coloration is a glaring public announcement: “Danger! Keep back!” This overt color scheme, termed “aposematic coloration,” warns potential predators of the wasp’s venom. The tarantula hawk’s sting is considered the most painful of any North American insect. Fortunately for admirers, the wasp is relatively docile, tending to sting only if handled, provoked, or if one happens to be a tarantula." - Durango Nature Studies
