The basic purpose of venom is to defend self by immobilizing the opponent, be it a predator or a prey. The nature has blessed many animals with venom. Snakes and spiders house venom in their mouth and scorpions keep it in their tail whereas, honeybees, wasps and other insects have developed special stingers for venom delivery.
