Did you know venom – a toxic substance injected by one animal into another – has evolved around 100 times?

Key Points:

Did you know venom – a toxic substance injected by one animal into another – has evolved around 100 times?
In our laboratory at the University of Queensland, my colleagues and I study all kinds of venomous animals.
One reason we do this is to find new molecules that can be used in medicines, or as bio-friendly insecticides.

Float like a butterfly, sting like a bee

Interestingly, it’s always the larval forms (caterpillars) that are armed with venom, and not the adults.
However, the venom of some of these caterpillar groups, including asp caterpillars, has never been examined with modern methods.

Evolution by horizontal gene transfer

Asp caterpillars aren’t found in Australia, so I had to travel to Florida to collect them from oak and elm trees.
These hopping events are called horizontal gene transfer to distinguish them from the vertical transfer of genes from parents to offspring.
We know of only a few examples of the horizontal gene transfer of venom toxins.

Harnessing nature’s resources

Beyond this, projects like this can also help us discover new ways in which venom toxins may benefit humans and the environment.
Our ability to develop such new technologies depends on discovering and understanding the molecular resources that exist in nature.
