What animal freak you out??

I found one of these motherfuckers in my bathtub at my old apartment...scared the hell out of me!

Scutigera coleoptrata - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (aka house centipede)

 

I once found a giant water bug (Belostomatidae - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia) in a lake. Which was horrifying because when I was 5 my book buddy, who was in 4th grade, read me a picture book and convinced me they were man-eating. I think I was 7 or 8 when I found it.

 

Absolutely terrified of centipedes!!! Every time I see one I literally freak out! Traumatized myself a long time ago when I lifted up a couch because I was moving it and stepped on a centipede bare footed :eek: pretty much just dropped the couch and ran away hehe. Spiders only bother me if they are a camel spider other spiders don't bother me they usually leave you alone but I've been charged by a camel spider lol and that just freaks me out.

 

I am not freaked out unless the creature is dangerous.

 

Bedbugs
Ticks
Mosquito's
Wasps (not bees or bumblebees)
Leeches
Cockroaches
Sea Lampreys
Headlice
Pubic lice
Tapeworm
Hookworm
Guinea worm
Pin worm
Human botfly
Chigoe flea
Screwworm
Scabies
All other flies I forgot which live in human during their larval stage

I normally wouldn't like specicide, but in those case I'll gladly make an exception.

 

snakes and ants, both creep me out, i hate them.

 

Rabbits, snakes, bugs, insects and basically any creature that crawls, hops, slithers or has more than four legs... eeeeeeeek

 

I agree. Also, the killer bees. My country uses maggot therapy and medical leeches. Maggots are gross. The latter aren't really scary though -- if you don't think about their teeth.

I wonder why so many people are scared of snakes. Maybe I'd have a different opinion if they were common here. I've only had positive experiences of them. I was surprised to learn they don't feel slimy. No, don't pester wild snakes! That was a friend's python.

 

House centipedes
Silverfish
Flies
Gnats
Wasps
I really don't like worms. I won't go near them or touch them. Especially hate after it rains and they're all over the place and mooshed up. They remind me of disease and parasites I guess.

I basically don't like any bug that tries to invade my house.

 

...why did I think it was a good idea to google-image-search these?

This didn't make it any better :lol:

 

I am extremely terrified of snakes! I also hate almost any type of insect (except ladybugs and butterflies), centipedes or other variations, spiders, and rodents. Also, cats freak me out too.

 

I like all animals, none of them scare me . . . Except wasps! I'll hold a tarantula or scorpion no problem but if a wasp comes near me I turn into a karate expert!

 

Bats. They remind me of lil flying devils I've always had a fear of them since young.

 

EEEEK! I can't even think about that many creepy things at once. :tears:

 

Insects, arachnids and deep, deep sea critters.
