I've been stung by bees, wasps and hornets and gotten some painful spider bites.
Worst was a man-o-war, though, when I was skin diving at Sea Camp. It was like several long strands of bee stings on the inside of my thighs.
Mal: And I never back down from a fight. Inara: Yes, you do! You do all the time!

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I've been stung by man o' wars, and a harvester ant -- the latter of which was like having the tip of a red-hot blunt wire stabbed into your skin.
Speaking of scorpions -- they were blacklighting them at the Desert Museum last night, and finding plenty in the cracks in the stone walls. The American Southwest common varieties light up a bright yellow/slightly green which stands out against the background as if it were glowing.
Some had tiny baby scorpions on their backs. Aaaaawwwwwwww!

Probably for a meal. Eat a peach. Or a small bowl of ice cream or a couple crackers with cheese.

Ann, that's a ferret.
My worst sting was a regular bee.
I kept getting stung repeatedly one year on vacation when I was about 12. Oddly, it only happened when I wore one particular shirt.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think speaking correctly is worth going to jail over.
I have slept all day.
Okay, since 2. I may end up having righted my sleep deficit, but ruined my ability to sleep tonight.

If only a LifeGem could be utilized in some sort of DeathRay and sold to some supervillian....
I like tommy's brain. This has such Dark Magic appeal.

Thrive to spite them
I've gotten stung by bees a few times.
Worse than that are horsefly bites. Those are horrid and painful and yucky. We saw them a lot at the beach when I was a kid. If we were all playing in the water and one of the cousins yelled "HORSEFLY!!!" we'd all duck under the water and stay until we couldn't hold our breath any longer...or the fly was gone.
I've also been stung by a cannonball jelly fish, they don't hurt a lot but they can still hurt.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Have a pancake.
I cannot read that without hearing it said by a cow creamer.
