Mediterranean banded centipede, Scolopendra cingulata. Underside of head detail showing the strong forcipules that it uses to inoculate the venom. It’s an opportunistic carnivore. It will attack and consume almost any animal that is not larger than itself. These include insects, worms, spiders and moths, and have been known to devour young mice and small lizards. The Scolopendra's main weapon is its bite, which paralyses its prey. It delivers a bite, which can cause inflammation and pain in the affected limb. Portugal

Forktail blenny, Meiacanthus atrodorsalis. These fish have large canines associated with venom glands that serve as defense weapons. But unlike most venomous fish, which inject toxins through their fins, fang blennies deliver venom through their bite. Furthermore, fang blenny venom does not appear to produce potent pain. Instead, it causes a sudden drop in blood pressure, which might temporarily stupefy predators. Cebu, Philippines

Killers Africanized Honeybees. A young intern handles the smoker. After two hours of harvesting and despite his protection, his nerves are getting frayed. The venom stings the eyes and the nose and an acidic taste fills the mouth. Don't panic, don'y panic.... Panama
