Discovery Collections

These are collections of diverse venoms from a broad spectrum of families and species, for the discovery of new and more selective agents for neurosciences,  biophysics, pharmacology and pesticide research. 

   

Taxonomic Index

Spiders | Scorpions | Centipedes

Explore the diverse species by taxa.

Population Index

Venoms and toxins taken from the same species can vary according the population or geographic area of origin. Thus Spider Pharm collects, breeds, milks and sells venoms according to collecting local. These are loosely called 'populations'.
It is difficult or impossible to get locality data for imported spiders or captive-bred from other sources. These are assumed to come from numerous localities and some variation is expected.
