The purpose of this guide is to present the reader with a basic yet sound understanding of the dangerous types of invertebrates that may be encountered during military operations worldwide. Brief descriptions of the physical and behavioral characteristics of these animals are presented. This field guide only considers those animals which pose a threat from direct contact and does not address toxic responses from food or contact allergies, or consumption of certain poisonous animals. In addition, a few invertebrates are included here not because they present a danger to people, but because they are often incorrectly presumed to be dangerous.

An obscene amount of info, I've been reading this for months.
