Article on Dangerous Arachnids and / or Insects

I was thinking of writing an article for this site about arachnids and insects that are dangerous to people with the photos linked to the guide pages. This article would include bugs that can bite and sting to a degree so as to causes pain and / or harm to people. I would like to know if anyone thinks that this is a good idea and if they could help by contributing information.

Great idea
I'm sure that would benefit many visitors. I would concentrate on the ones people are most likely to encounter.

I second that.
Good idea, as long as it also stresses the beneficial qualities of the critters. Don't forget blister beetles, stinging caterpillars (as well as some arctiid caterpillars that cause allergic reactions); and you might include some critters of veterinary importance.
