Do insects scare you?

Are you at all creeped out or afraid of any insects or arachnids? I saw this video the other day on The Flood and couldn't help but wonder how that wouldn't bother even the most manly of men. It's like a Spider Invasion...

  • I was traveling around Thailand once diving around the islands and I stayed at this one hotel....... in the middle of the night I wake up to go to my bathroom. The door was slightly open. As I approach the door I notice a massive spider, maybe 5 inches across, on the front of the door. It's underside was COVERED IN EGGS. It then walked across the front of the door and around to the inside of the bathroom. I closed the door. I went back to bed, as I no longer needed the toilet.

    • I am deathly afraid of pretty much all insects, except for stuff like Ladybugs, butterflies, and stuff like that.

    • For me it depends on the day. There are days that bugs don't bother me at all but there are days that they creep the -blam!- out of me. It's really random.

    • Nah, we used to get huge cockroaches in our house when I was little and stomping on the buggers became a favorite pastime.

      • Depends, I can be creeped out but I won't scream like a little girl, and I don't get why people hate spiders, they're our bros.

      • It's silly. Spiders don't scare me but cockroaches do. Probably from that episode of the X-files.

        • Not particularly but I don't like the feelings of them crawling on me. I am fascinated by spiders and I think they are beautiful creatures but I don't want to touch them or hold them or let them crawl over me.

        • Not particularly, though I freak out if I step on one with a bare foot. Though I think that is just due to the fact that I hate things touching my feet.

        • If they are where they shouldn't be, I will usually kill them. However they don't normally scare me.

          • I have my limits, and can deal with most of them, as long as they aren't too big. That being said one of the worst feelings that makes my skin crawl is having a spruce bug on you. The one in the video is a female, or male, I'm not sure, but I know one of the genders grows much larger than the other, and one has a set of nasty god damn jaws. They're strong enough that they can take skin off and leave scars if anyone ever let them go deep enough. I hate the feel of their legs, they stick to you real easily, it's like you've got to tear the thing off you, and they make a horrid sound when you hold them. Not the ugliest or creepiest, but there's something about them that makes my skin crawl, worse than the largest spider could.
