Which better?

Scarier villain weapon?
1. Cannon that shoots bees at people.
2. Cannon that shoots wasps at people.
3. Cannon that shoots scorpions at people.

4. Cannon that shoots scorpions in bee costumes at people.

But failing that? 1.

#1 and here is why:
Wasps and Scorpions are normally solitary hunters, and therefore hard to control once they are fired. Bees, on the other hand, act as a group. When one attacks, they all attack. If the villain has some sort of pheromone control ability, not only could they use the bees as a super-weapon, but a super-weapon with pinpoint accuracy that can engage multiple targets at once.

Also a quick suggestion for a back up weapon: Cockroach Bomb
Even the mightiest of heroes would freak out after being covered in hundreds of thousands of cockroaches.

Scorpion cannon.

Scorpions. If the stings don't get you, the resemblance to spiders will.

Wasps. They're jerks who can and will keep stinging out of spite.

Some bees die after just one sting and they tend to back off after you leave their terriory.

Scorpions are just as bad as wasps, but don't have the mobility advantage of flight.

*points at scars from wasp stings*

Wasps. Definitely wasps. The stings hurt 100 times more than bee stings.

3+2. A cannon that shoots scorpions armed with cannons that shoot wasps.
