	Stinger (organ) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A stinger is an organ or body part found in various animals that usually delivers some kind of venom.
		Animals with stingers include bees, wasps, hornets, and scorpions - although the scorpion's stinger is not homologous to that of the other three, but is rather an example of convergent evolution.
		In honeybees, the stinger is barbed, and lodges in the flesh of the victim upon use and tears free from the honeybee's body, leading to the honeybee's death within minutes.

	Sting (biology) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A sting (or stinger) is a common term for a sharp organ of an animal or plant that can pierce the skin of another animal.
		A stinger is different from other piercing organs in that it pierces by its own action, as opposed to e.g., teeth, which pierce by the force of jaws, or thorns, which pierce by the actiion of the victim.
		Any sharp organ of offense or defense, especially when connected with a poison gland, and adapted to inflict a wound by piercing; as the caudal sting of a scorpion.

		Males have a pair of sperm-producing organs called testes, which are connected by ducts to an organ called the aedeagus.
		Queen ants have a pair of egg-producing organs called ovaries, a genital chamber through which an egg passes after leaving the ovary, a sperm-storing structure called the spermatheca, and an egg-laying organ known as the ovipositor.

		Until now researchers have relied on injecting a human gene into fertilised pig eggs to create animals whose organs can be harvested for use by humans.
		Scientists in Italy are now engineering sperm to dramatically reduce the chances of transplanted pig organs being rejected by human patients from a success rate of 4 per cent to 88 per cent.
		They say the possibility of generating transgenic pigs efficiently will be an advantage for creating donor animals whose organs will be as close to a human as possible.

		Among Hymenoptera species, the honeybee commonly leaves a stinger (with venom sac attached) in the skin of its victim.
		Since it takes several minutes for the venom sac to inject all of the venom, immediate removal of the stinger and sac (within 30 seconds) will limit the amount of venom injected.

		South Korean scientists say they have successfully cloned piglets whose organs were genetically modified to make them more suitable for human transplants.
		Lead scientist Park Kwang-Wook says the cloned piglets are genetically modified to contain the "HLA-G" gene, which would give their organs a greater chance of being accepted if they are transplanted into humans.
		The cell was then implanted into the womb of a surrogate pig, which gave birth to five cloned piglets.

		A stinger is a modified ovipositor (egg-laying organ); therefore, no male ants, bees, or wasps can sting.
		Although they may appear to be aggressive or chase you, they are probably just trying to orient themselves--you are a new, large object in their habitat.
		These are the most commonly encountered stingers, but their greatest danger is the potential for allergic reaction.
