To what common insect encounters do keepers often compare the localized pain severity of a black tarantula bite?

That of a bee sting or a wasp sting

Individuals who have experienced a bite from a black tarantula often relate the immediate pain level to that produced by common hymenopteran stings. Specifically, the sensation is frequently likened to that experienced from either a bee sting or a wasp sting. This comparison helps establish that while the event is certainly uncomfortable and results in localized pain at the puncture marks, it does not typically reach the level of agonizing or debilitating pain associated with bites from highly venomous spiders. The severity remains localized, mirroring the acute but transient discomfort typical of these common insect encounters.
