What kind of poisonous creatures are there?
In michigan we have the seldom but occasional brown recluse, black widow, and copperhead rattler. Are the centipedes, spiders, or anything else poisonous or do they just hurt when/if they bite? |

There is nothing deadly here, but there are a few things that bite or sting, centipedes are widespread, scorpions in dry areas like Kona, the fire ants that have recently invaded, hornets, and a stinging caterpillar. There is a small spider that doesn't sting much, but leaves a welt for weeks. A neighbor recently said she thought she had been bitten by a black widow, but I've never seen one.

Nothing deadly here. The blueish colored Centipedes have a poisonous bite but just swelling and hurts like hell, the big red ones look way nastier, but I believe they don't have any poison, just the pain from the bite. Yellow Jacket bees are another pest that has a non poisonous but painful sting.
