Many caterpillars have defensive venom glands associated with specialized bristles on the body, known as urticating hairs, which can be lethal to humans (e.g., that of the "Lonomia" moth), although the venom's strength varies depending on the species.

Vickers Venom The Vickers Type 279 Venom was a low-wing monoplane single-seat, single-engined, eight-gun fighter, powered by a radial engine. It was fast and manoeuvrable but its engine lacked the power and development potential of its Merlin-powered competitors. Only one was built. The Vickers Venom was designed to meet Air Ministry specification F.5/34 which called for a single-seat eight-gun aircraft with the
