I just had a thought today, thinking about venomous animals.
Why is the venom of some animals, like certain kinds of spiders and scorpions, strong enough to kill even a human?
Surely they don't need venom that strong for their prey, which is not much bigger than mice I'd say, so that can't be the reason. I find it hard to believe that it's for self defence, because the venom doesn't kill or weaken the threatening predator fast enough for it not to be able to kill its prey.
Maybe these sorts of questions shouldn't be on here, because they're too specific, but I'm curious and maybe some of you find this interesting as well.

Yep, the venoms arms race boi.
You should make an introduction thread. Or post your conversion story.

Enough with the customary system. It's all metric.
