11 Insects in Arizona That Are Far More Dangerous Than They Look

The 11 Most Dangerous Animals in Arizona (suggested) Arizona advertises its threats — rattlesnakes, Gila monsters, heat. Those aren't the problem. Eleven animals ranked by one axis: the gap between how harmless a thing looks and what it can do to a human body. A wasp nicknamed cow killer. An ant with the most toxic venom ever measured in an insect. A scorpion that gets into beds while people sleep. An insect that triggers anaphylaxis hours after midnight. And at number one, the plainest-looking animal in the state, behind the largest West Nile outbreak ever recorded in a US county.
