Venomous creatures aren't too much of a problem in North America. We have a few poisonous pests, but we're mostly lightweights. So, what's the most poisonous critter in your neighborhood? Is it a brown recluse spider or a Gila Monster? Do you have lizards, toads or scorpions? Maybe the local rattlesnake is especially nasty. Add your creepy critter to our little hall of fangs here.

Bites & Stings - Creepy critter

In the western suburbs of Sydney, New South Wales, we are fairly used to see a lot of poisonous insects and reptiles, whether it's outside in the bush or in the bedroom. Funnel Webs, Red-Back spiders and brown snakes are the main culprits.
