I wouldn't put a recluse as more toxic. Maybe wandering spiders? Large snakes like a Momba or a King Cobra. I don't have a chart in front of me so I'm not sure.

I would kill for this scorpion (Hemiscorpius lepturus). Check out the damage in the photos on this page: http://www.arachnodata.ch/projects.htm

I thought snakes only seemed more toxic since they inject far greater amounts.

I am talking drop for drop.

Drop for drop... Okay after checking the charts

Crotalus scutulatus
Naja naja

They're the only land animals I can find. LQs lowest LD value is .25, the Mojave rattler is .23 and the King cobra is .13.

Okay another chart lists a ton of snakes with the Oxyuranus microlepidotus (Inland Taipan) as .025.

Snakes are hardcore.

Aren't some Latrodectus more potent, drop for drop? They inject tiny amounts and are still potentially fatal.

And if I lived somewhere where an elephant might step on me on accident, I'd want pretty damn powerful venom too!!

Most toxic scorpion in terms of venom potency is the deathstalker, Leiurus quinquestriatus. In terms of human fatalities, it's the southern fattail, Androctonus australis.

It's all we have.
And when it comes to these big gaps in numbers the difference is valid.
Isn't it? .17 to .023 more value then a jump from .16 to .75

Yeah, it's pretty useful for ballpark estimates. I wouldn't conclusively say "it will take X milliliters of venom injected into my (skin, muscle, vein) to have a 50% likelihood of killing me," but looking at the numbers are good for making rough comparisons between venoms.
