  You made me curious if there is an insect that hurts you jist by touching you and not biting or stinging with a built in weapon. 🤔

    Poisonous: harms you if you touch or eat it

    Venomous: harms you by injecting a toxin (through biting, stinging, etc.)

    I know there’s a few poisonous butterflies (e.g. the Monarch butterfly), and I can find a few others listed on Wikipedia (and I’m sure there are others not on there too)

      Slap an h in front of that word and it would be absolutely perfect. Hurticating.
