That varies greatly on the type of insect and whether or not the person bitten is allergic to it. Most bites that occur cause little to no damage with maybe a little redness and itching. An insect that is not very dangerous on its own could cause great harm in a swarm. An insect that is poisonous may cause greater harm such as problems with breathing and swelling. A person who is allergic to an insect may experience harsher symptoms than that of someone is not allergic that could potentially lead to death if left untreated.
Examples:
Person #1 (not allergic) -- stung by a single wasp -- Hurts, burns, and can swell slightly with itching
Person #1 (not allergic) -- stung by a swarm of wasps -- could potentially die if not treated quickly
Person #2 (allergic) -- stung by a single wasp -- could potentially die if not treated quickly
Person #2 (allergic) -- stung by a swarm of wasps -- is almost certain to not survive
