Same for scorpions, wasps, and ants

Don't ants bite with their mandibles?

[-] protist@mander.xyz 8 points 1 month ago

Yes, but you'll barely feel that. They sting with their stingers, which are so small you typically won't even feel it at first. If you watch them sting up close, some of them will grab onto you with their mandibles and furiously sting you with their stinger repeatedly. Ants evolved directly from wasps and are basically wingless wasps, which is why they're such dicks

Some also have stingers
