Abstract
⺠Locusts used to generate LD50 and time to death values for four Echis venoms. ⺠These values are compared with those collected for Scorpions by Barlow et al., 2009. ⺠Arthropod feeding Echis venoms are more potent to locusts than vertebrate feeders. ⺠Major differences between LD50 and time to death values between test arthropods. ⺠Convenient model species are not suitable for evolutionary toxinological studies.
