I generally don't afraid of bugs or insect but they still give me shiver sometime esp those with lots of legs O_O. Spiders are ok though, I can slap them with my bare hand if they are small.

Im afraid of a lot of bugs, especially large worms. I'm not one bit scared of spiders when I see them in pictures or videos, but once I see one in real life, I freak out.

Dont care much about bugs and insects in general but shit, bees and wasps and other flying, stinging bitches scare the shit out of me.

My reaction to bees:

"Aghh kill it with fire!"
... nah, I usually trap them in the slot in my window.

I let spiders and centipedes go now because they catch other bugs, and because I live in a shitty place so I've become used to seeing them.

Do it... it's the only way to be sure.
I think in our modern age technology has evolved to become more addictive. The things that don't give us pleasure aren't used as much. Work was never meant to be fun, but doing it makes us happier in the long run.

I'm really only uneasy around spiders. Especially if they're fast. If they're slow, non-aggressive and they're just chilling, then it's all good.

My dad has some tarantulas as pets. Super pretty.

I only get scared of insects/spiders if they catch me off guard. Like one time I was playing starcraft, and looked down after the game and there was a spider on my keyboard, that made me jump. But generally unless its poisonous I just leave it alone because there really isn't anything wrong with having insects/spiders around.

Flying bugs are another story. Fuck those. Annoying as shit

Fuck bugs, fuck spiders, fuck mosquitoes, fuck roaches, yuck. I wish they would stay outdoors I almost consider moving to move to the arctic (there are no bugs there right?) whenever I see a gross bug in an awkward position because it's like impossible to sleep knowing it could crawl on you and get inside you or some shit fuuuck!

I have seen alot of bugs since I have been living here. Nothing really bothers me though, except the poisonous spiders we have around here. I have seen Black Widows and Brown Recluses since I have been living here, and they fucking suck.
Cockroaches don't really bother me anymore, but a few years ago one fell from the A/C vent above my computer, and a big fucking cockroach just fell onto my desk. Big WTF moment from me

I do fucking hate wasps/bees though. I always hesitate to hit them because I don't want to piss them off and sting me.

Lived in India last summer, by far the worst part was the fucking spiders lurking under everything. Had to deal with this shit:

I HATE any sort of bug. Anytime I see a bug in my room, I get that really uneasy creepy crawly feeling all on over my arms and spine. Oh, and spiders amplify that feeling 10x with their damn legs, particularly daddy longlegs - fuck those things.

I had the worst experience with a spider once. I was going in for a shower and this small, tiny little spider was in there hanging off the thread of its web. Being the pussy that I am, I go grab a magazine and roll it up to squash that sucker. As I'm closing in on it, the fucking thing leaps at me from like 2 feet away, startling the shit out of me. I jump back, slip, land on my ass and my head hits the bathroom cabinets behind me. My room mate comes in from hearing the THUD and the moaning, only to see me lying on the ground like a moron. Lesson learned: spiders are evil as shit.

Dude, me too. Been afraid of them since I was a kid. There were a couple years recently where our town had tons of the really big ones everywhere during a month long period and I repeatedly embarrassed myself in front of my friends xD.

It's okay though, it seems everyone has an irrational fear or two. At least I'm not afraid of ice cream sandwiches like my friend is (like really, she gets frightened if you put one near her).

That reminds me of my evil spider in the shower incident.
One time when I was taking a shower, I went to go grab a sponge. Little did I know there was a huge hobo spider chilling in it. Had no idea until I felt a tickle on my stomach, looked down, and saw this huge 2 inch spider crawling up my stomach. I freaked out and hit it off and it curled up in the corner not wanting to get wet. Poor thing met it's demise with a shampoo bottle.
Fucking scary shit right there.

The other day my roommate left without telling me. The next night I was woken up from half-sleep around 5:15 because a mosquito was stalking me as it had been the past few nights. I got up and turned the light on and saw the mosquito resting on the corner of the wall and ceiling. Then I saw some idiot/badass spider halfway up the wall trying to go eat the mosquito. Really? He can just fly away. I know he's got the energy because he's full of my blood. Anyway, I smashed him and got my blood all over the wall but was too stupid to kill the spider before it got to safety. I've been sleeping in the other bed now.

Edit: Once in a blue moon when I put my shoes on I will find a resistive force inside them. I immediately pull my foot the fuck out and throw the shoe as far as I can so the thing that tried to make my shoe its home gets lost.

Edit: One time at school I had an unsealed window or something and when the weather rolled around I had swarms of ladybugs around my light. Had to vacuum those disgusting fucks because all they do is make little popping noises every time they slam into the light. Found a stinkbug in my shades when I was moving them around to fix my window.

I begin to freak the fuck out whenever I see a bug of a certain size, and the amount of freaking out I do increases exponentially based on it's size/proximity to me.

Florida = swamp

Except around here most of us have a rational love of MOST spiders. You see, spiders kill insects. GG. <3 spiders.



At least 5 of those were pokemons I swear.

I really hate moth's, annoying bastards.

I absolutely hate every single insect on this planet. It's not fear (in most cases, at least) however, but sheer disgust.

I pretty much hate all insects, especially wasps/bees/anything that stings, luckily though there aren't any really bad ones in this country (those Japanese hornets and humongous Australian spiders and various other massive bugs from around the world would scare the shit out of me). I got stung by a wasp once (under the ear -_-) when I was about 10, and any time one enters my house I will destroy it.

Moths are another really annoying one just because of the way they either fly right into your face or insist on sitting on your monitor if the room's dark, and our flat seems to be infested with them, we keep killing them and their damn eggs but they keep coming back, they've demolished the carpet in parts of the house. I think a candle is the best anti-moth weapon to employ though ^^

Spiders don't bother me as much as flying or even walking insects but I still don't exactly like having them crawling around my room.

Oh and if anything is flying around my room I will swing at it straight away, or use something other than my bare hands if it's a wasp/bee.
