      Lots! First off, bees and wasps are both insects and they’re definitely venomous. Then, quite a few types of ant are venomous too like the fire ants which have a nasty sting! Finally, there are some caterpillars that are venomous too, they have hairs that sting you if you touch them, like the South American silk moth (before it turns into a moth) can kill humans! Thankfully it’s all the way in South America though so we don’t have to worry too much.
