Ants kill over 30 people a year. Fire ants, and their Australian cousins the jack jumper ants, sting their victims with venom. African army ants, meanwhile, can form columns 50 million strong, often feeding on small mammals. pic.twitter.com/HZVqsND9O5

Bees kill, on average, 50 people a year, with most deaths due to anaphylaxis from bee stings. The deadliest of the species, the Africanized honey bee, is reputedly aggressive and, apparently, vengeful, known to pursue people for up to 3/4 a mile when provoked. pic.twitter.com/hn7Hz96cf8

Selfies have killed almost 400 people since 2011. Most were transport-related or involved electrocution, firearms, falls, or drowning, but a few involved animals, like the guy in China who was drowned by a walrus that evidently didn't want its picture taken. 1/ pic.twitter.com/e2BV5Iw5kA

The Brazilian yellow scorpion and the Israeli deathstalker can inject their victims with enough venom to kill a human being (usually children, the elderly, and the immuno-compromised). They kill 3250 people a year. pic.twitter.com/GPMQqBo8ei
