Black windows are pretty common. You could also try some of the larger centipede and scorpion varieties, though they may not always be lethal to everyone, they can still be considered very dangerous.

Yeah but those aren't insects.

No, they're arachnids. Insects generally have six legs and bodies in three segments. Spiders generally have eight legs and bodies in two segments.

This particular invertebrate forgives you. I have trouble telling you folks from lemurs.

Brown recluse spiders as well

The larger the scorpion the less dangerous its venom.

Black widows usually do not kill humans.

They also are not aggressive. If you don't fuck with them, they won't bite you. There are much more venomous spiders. Like the Sydney funnel-web spider, the most venomous spider in the world. And of course it's in Australia.
