A stinger (technically referred to as a sting) is a colloquial term for a sharp organ or body part found in various animals that usually delivers some kind of venom (usually piercing the skin of another animal). A true sting differs from other piercing structures in that it pierces by its own action, as opposed to teeth, which pierce by the force of opposing jaws, or plant thorns or stinging hairs, which pierce by the action of the victim. "Sting" also refers to the wound caused by a sting.
