My group of friends, there's seven of us, are representing the Seven Deadly Sins this Halloween. We want to look edgy, sexy, and seductive. What are some ideas for each one? I am envy and it's a bit harder by just wearing only green.
Envy is probably the toughest one to represent via a costume, but at least you didn't get stuck with gluttony. It is said that purgatory those who were too envious had their eyes sewn shut with green wire, but I suppose you are not that commited to the costume. Perhaps you can figure out a way to work with that without sewing your eyes shut.

My friend said calling a girl fat.
Lol, he's a tard.
Female mosquitoes are the only ones that bite. The Praying Mantis bites off the head of it's mate. The Black Widow spider kills its mate.
I learnt in biology that ones males have mated and spread their genes they are no longer needed and they could also potentially kill the offspring
While this is a general question, I'm particularly interested in mammals. If you can add a separate comment specificaly for humans that would be good too.
Humans?

Just a nice little thought to keep in mind
It depends what exactly you mean by 'more deadly'. In certain spider species, for example, females carry more toxic venom than males (though there are species in which the reverse is true).
In spotted hyenas, females are larger and stronger than the males and dominate them in all aspects of their society (but in striped and brown hyenas, and their relative the aardwolf, males are larger than females). It's quite common among frogs, birds of prey and spiders for males to be the smaller and weaker sex, and this also occurs in some insects, such as mantids. Female whales are generally larger than males, as are some snakes (e.g. pythons and boas) and some turtles. In anglerfish, the male is much smaller than the female - he bites onto her, and actually fuses to her body, gaining nourishment from her blood system, which combines with his. He basically becomes a sperm-producing organ on her body.
There are some species in which females could be said to be the dominant sex, despite the males being larger and stronger. Examples are bonobos and elephants. Female bonobos take precedence over males, gaining first access to food, sleeping sites and so on. An elephant herd consists of adult females and their young. It is led by a matriarch, and males leave the herd when they reach sexual maturity. They will live alone after this, returning to herds only briefly in order to mate with females in season, after which they depart. Lemurs also live in female-dominated societies, and have little sexual dimorphism between males and females.
There are even species in which all individuals are female, and are able to reproduce without the need for males - Brahminy blind snakes and certain species of whiptail lizards are examples.
Any female animal with young is likely to be extremely protective of them, and thus more potentially dangerous than a male of the same species - she is more likely to attack you in defence of her young.
I must disagree with the person who mentioned lions - whilst females do the majority of the hunting for the pride, males do join in on occasion, especially when hunting large prey such as buffalo, and young males who have left their natal pride but not yet taken over one of their own have no choice but to hunt for themselves. Males are larger and stronger than females, and thus can dominate them physically if they desire - for example, they may feed first, claiming 'the lion's share' of a kill for themselves, whether or not they helped in the catching of the prey. As far as humans are concerned, male and female lions are equally dangerous - both could kill you with ease.
