what bugs are you afraid of?

[TheGameIs21]

I must correct you....



Spiders are not bugs. They are spawns of satan.

 

[RayH]

House centipedes with legs that can move like the wind give me the willies.

BTW ajpa123, I've never heard of that! I'm going to go look it up, and maybe I can come up with a link. God help me if they somehow migrated to Florida! That is something I would be dreadfully scared of.

Theraphosa leblondi

Wow!

Dare you to grab this.

<---Thanks god that I live nowhere near South America.

Bleh, tarantulas are mostly harmless. They hurt like hell when they bite, but none of them have really dangerous venom. The worst you'll get from a tarantula bite is a couple of days of discomfort, some swelling and itching. If you're going to be afraid of a spider, be afraid of the brown recluse. I love tarantulas and have a pet cobalt blue that's mean as hell, but it doesn't scare me a bit because I know it can't truly hurt me. Brown recluses scare me.

same here!! got stung a few times as a kid now i freak out even when i hear the sound of a bee or wasp

 

[Gulzakar]

Wasps are %ucking cool

I guess there's a reason why bugs and arachnides have been around so long

 

[skychief]

I must agree, house centipedes suck.

Spiders, that is all.

Never used to be either until I got bit on my foot by one and it swelled up and I couldn't walk on it for almost a week.

 

[CraigRT]

ticks (lime disease) i know the odds are low, but still... heh.. and it's not like i can get bitten by one just anywhere.. but you asked, so there you go.

SEMI afraid of spiders... i mean. not if i just see one walking across the floor, but a really big one walking on my pillow or something may freak me out a TAD!

 

[ScottyB]

Just about everything besides gnats, flies, mosquitoes, bees and wasps. I am especially scared of butterflies and moths.

I don't care if the tarantulas can hurt me or not. I do not want them loose in a room with me.
If I something like that in my house I would get my shotgun, quickly. I can fix drywall.

Never have seen a Brown Recluse around here. I did find a Black Widow once in the basement, that was a suprise.

Centipedes are the devil.

LOL! This is exactly how I feel about bugs as well.... I would add that my most feared bugs are millipedes and centipedes. Just the sight of those on TV force me to cover my face and scream like a 10 year old girl.

I like butterflies though

 

[79Blazer]

Spiders, bees, wasps, and rollie pollies.

 

[bandana163]

I should be afraid of poisonous spiders, but there are almost none in my country and none at all in my environment.
I hate big wasps, hornets and bees. Air/ground pollution is getting noticeable in the area, though: I haven't seen one in the past few years!

I believe the first one there is a young stag-beetle. Those are rare and protected by law here. You kill one = you pay a lot.

 

[Ryan]

Bugs don't bother me.

 

[Mermaidman]

Spiders are OK--in fact, I like 'em, but I have an unreasonable fear of cockcroaches, cicadas, and these monsters.

Oh-I'm also afraid of no-see-ums, but only because I'm allergic to them.

 

[DrPizza]

What bugs am I afraid of?

Bugs hiding someplace, waiting to bite me... like a big furry spider hiding in a pair of my sneakers..
That phobia stems from a big hairy spider hiding in my sneakers and delivering the most painful insect sting I've ever felt.

That reminds me... I had a cricket in my shoe once. I put it on, and felt something moving under my foot, but it was early so i didnt care and went on with my day. When I got home and took my shoe off, there was a huge cricket stain on the bottom of my sock! it wasn't one of those little crickets either.. this one was like the size of a quarter!

Haha, I went to put a shoe on before and a toad jumped out.

Crash bugs from memory leaks... they are sooo hard to track especially when it's someone else's object that's screwing up my objects. :|

errr... wait... different bug...

For me it would be flying, stinging bugs like bees and wasps and stuff... cockroaches too... not sure about spiders though 'cos I haven't encountered any really big ones (yet).

[Toddo97]

Cucarachas, definately.

I squished a big, black forest cockroach once and when I went to pick it up w/ a paper towel, it magically came back to life and started crawling up my arm. I'll die a happy man if I never hear the girlish screech that came out of me that day.
