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. 🤔

Caterpillars with urticating hairs.

Technically the bombardier beetle does not bite nor sting. Instead it shoots hydrogen peroxide and hydroquinone in two different streams, which when reacted together pretty much instantly reach 212°f and chemically burn whatever they are shooting at

Technically, jellyfish are using stingers

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)

Emactually, a butterfly is much more agile and nimble than a jellyfish, isn’t it?
Of course, my upvote is still yours, mi Lady :tips fedora:
