The Assassin Worm has a small head and a thin neck-like structure behind the head, with a maximum length of 40 mm. Most of the assassin insects are predatory, preferring to eat insects with limited mobility, such as cotton aphids, thrips, and cotton bollworms, and the snouts are like steel needles, which can penetrate the body of prey and absorb nutrients.

5. Hunting ants

The nomadic ant is a highly aggressive ant that lives mainly in central, eastern and southern Africa and tropical Asia. 4.5 cm long, they feed on insects, spiders and earthworms, and their bite force is so strong that even if they kill these ants, their strong jaws will continue to bite. Therefore, in emergency medical situations, locals will use them to suture wounds.

6. Black Widow Spider

The Black Widow Spider, also known as the Red Spot Spider, often called the Black Widow, is a spider with a strong neurotoxin that may cause intense muscle pain if bitten. Adult female black widow spiders have a shiny black belly and a red hourglass-like marking. The Black Widow spider is mainly found in North America, where they generally feed on a variety of insects, but sometimes also prey on lice, horses, small centipedes, scorpions and other spiders. When prey is wrapped around a spider's web, the Black Widow spider pierces the prey and injects toxins.
