Red and yellow,
Kill a fellow.
Red and black,
Venom lack.
Submitter comment:
This rhyme is used to tell venomous and non-venomous snakes
apart. The color refers to the consecutive color bands only. If
red and black color rings touch on the snake, it is not venomous.
If red and yellow color bands touch on the snake, it is usually a
venomous snake.
