In general, hybrid bees much more defensive than the various subspecies of Europe. A small herd of Africanized bees were able to take over the European honey bee hive to attack the nest and build their own queen after killing the queen bee of Europe. What makes bees lethal nature of their defense and a tendency to huddle. Moreover, they tend to follow the victim. Unmitigated even when it was far from the hive, the bees also still able to follow the victim. This aggressiveness when attacking ensure a death threat that is very painful for the victim.

Famous female species with distinctive black and red color that sometimes it will take her partner after reproduction. The species is native to North America. For healthy human venom is rarely fatal.
The poison is said to be stronger than a rattlesnake.
3. Tsetse fly
Tsetse flies are large sized flies can bite from Africa who live on the blood of vertebrates. Tsetse include all species in the genus Glossina, which is usually classified in its own family, Glossinidae. They are known to cause disease in humans and Nagana Sleeping in cattle. Sleeping sickness is a parasitic disease in humans and animals caused by Trypanosoma, a protozoa transmitted by the tsetse fly. Sleeping sickness symptoms begin with fever and headache and swelling in the back of the neck. After that, the victim may experience sleep during the day and insomnia. Besides it can lead to death afterwards.
4. Lice
In general, lice feed on blood and attach themselves to other animals (including humans).

When food supplies are low, swarms of ants would gather in sizes up to 50 million ants. There are reports that the man is usually killed by making shortness of breath (the ants will often get into the lungs). Mandible them so strong that in some parts of Africa they are used individually as emergency sutures when medical supplies are not available. The army ants workers usually blind or may have a compound eye with a single lens. There are species of army ants where caste workers can show polymorphism based on different physical and allocation of work. However, there are also species that do not show polymorphism at all. Caste workers usually consist of sterile female worker ants.
