how big is the worlds largest killer insect and how does it kill?

Question

eg flies, spiders

Answer 1

The Sydney Funnel Web Spider (Atrax robustus) and the Brazilian Wandering spider are considered the world's two most dangerous spiders, although the Six-Eyed Sand Spider is thought to have a more potent venom (not many people have ever been bitten by it to study).

Other dangerous spiders include the brown recluse spider and the black widow spider.

Answer 2

Sadly, most of the true killers amongst insects are rather small...less than an inch (2.5 cm). The larger insects are fairly harmless...a pinch, a minor bite or sting. Bees, wasps, ants and some caterpillars are dangerous because of venom...one of my patients squashed a caterpillar on his neck and nearly died from the butterfly caterpillar's toxin. Other animals are much more toxic (I am a toxicologist and specialized in animal poisons), and remember that spiders, centipedes, scorpions are not insects. Also remember that some people are sensitive to insect bites or stings and may die from anaphylaxic shock rather than the strength of the venom. Some of the insects are not deadly but carry with them deadly diseases such as malaria and yellow fever and cause many to die each year. But for actual killers, ants and bees are the bad guys.

Answer 3

There are many insects that deliver a venomous bite, but the harvester ant is considered to be among the most poisonous of all insects.

Answer 4

Well one of the most dangerous spider on earth is the Sydney funnel web spider. It can grow to the size of a child's hand. This spider is typically secretive, and will not hesitate to attack any potential threats. This spider uses a very potent venom to kill its prey, and this same neurotoxic venom also works well at killing larger creatures (i.e. us) This spider has been accused of many human deaths in Australia, and is recognized as one of the most dangerous animals on earth.

The African Bird Eathing Trantula. It is a trantual. It bites birds and eats them. It is about the size of a man's face. It dissolves the meat inside of a prey and bigins to suck it all up.
