Names of poisonous insects

There are many species of poisonous insects, and their names can vary depending on the region and language. Here are some examples:

  1. Black widow spider - known for their venomous bite, which can cause muscle pain and spasms, as well as other symptoms.

  2. Brown recluse spider - their bite can lead to necrosis (death of tissue) and other severe symptoms.

  3. Bullet ant - found in South and Central America, their sting is described as one of the most painful in the world.

  4. Africanized honey bee - also known as "killer bees," their sting can be very dangerous, especially to those who are allergic.

  5. Tarantula hawk wasp - named for their habit of hunting tarantulas, their sting is described as one of the most painful a human can experience.

  6. Monarch butterfly - while not poisonous themselves, the caterpillars of this species feed on milkweed, which makes them toxic to predators.

  7. Poison dart frog - found in Central and South America, their brightly colored skin warns predators of their toxic nature.

It's important to note that many insects are not actually poisonous, but rather venomous - meaning they inject venom through a bite or sting. Poison, on the other hand, is typically ingested or absorbed through the skin.
