I've heard the most venomous species is some frog in the rainforest, but I have also heard that a species of spider has the most potent venom. Does anyone know for sure? Please post a link to a site with decent proof.
Is it a type of of frog in the rainforest? Scorpion? Snake? Spider? Fish/Jellyfish? Viper? Lizard?
Please no blank opinions, but facts to back up the answer. Thanks for your help!

First of all daddy longlegs that is referring to the crane fly has no venom whatsoever. They are completely harmless. They don't even bite humans. The other two daddy longlegs are arachnids, one is a spider the other is not. The spider which is also known as the cellar spider is venomous, but the venom is very weak. There are other species of spider, such as the black widow and the Sydney funnel-web that has a more deadlier bite. The third daddy longleg which is an arachnid but not a spider is also known as the harvestmen. Like crane fly, it has no venom. So it is neither venomous nor poisonous. It is completely harmless. Some of the most venomous creatures would include the box jellyfish and the irukandji jellyfish that inhabit the coast of northen Australia. The most poisonous would probably be the arrow poison frogs of South America

The animal with the most toxic known substance in the animal kingdom is a certain type of arrow poison frog called the golden poison frog. It takes only a tiny drop to kill a human.
It receives this deadly toxin from its diet of insects. It is believed that a cetain type of beetle on which the frog feeds on is responsible for the frog's lethal poison. Because of this, captive frogs are harmless because it is fed on insects that does not occur naturally in its habitat.
