Are you scared of insects. I did not mean for the 1cm insect. I simply means the bigger insect. Those can be cockroaches or spiders or some others. I scared of cockroaches as they are very dirty and the brown wet legs they have look weird.

Butterflies, worms, caterpillars, moths, and those little rolly polly "potato bugs" don't bother me. Most others do. My sister's boyfriend is so terrified of bugs that he won't even touch the page of a book if there's a picture of a bug on it. And that includes butterflies.

No I'm not scared of them, don't like them, but not scared of them. My sister is really scared of all bugs.

I'm not scared of insects, but I hate Mosquitoes. I hate the high-pitched buzz they make, and the horrible itchy bites they sometimes do to me. They can spread disease as well, the horrible little things!

Im afraid of all insects, If I see something crawling then I instantly panic, and I know its silly as they are tiny and cannot do much harm to me but I hate them. I mostly hate anything that flies, as when I was abroad I got bitten by mosquitos a lot, and any time I hear anything buzzing I immediately think its a wasp, even if its just a fly I still think its a wasp! Hopefully I will get over this feeling at some point but I dont think I will ever change!

I don't think you could call what I feel for bugs "fear". They gross me out and I hate them but while I have a deep respect for the more dangerous ones, they don't scare me. A few years ago I got really freaked out by a spider. It was crawling across our ceiling. I grabbed a flipflop to squish it with and was just sneaking up on it when it did a 180 and stared right at me with its beady little eyes. I froze until it turned its back on me again before I finally squished it. It still freaks me out to remember it!

Not scared of insects. I'm scared of snakes and sharks. The USA have rattlesnakes and they go to the hospital like 2hr after getting bitten. I'm from Australia get bitten by a taipan or King brown 2hr after that you're long gone. Very scared of snakes. Australia is home to 8 of the top ten venomous snakes in the world.

Yes, of some. Not by their size but the way they look and what harms they can do to you. Some of the insects look creepy so you don't want to get near it. Also, I'm worried sometimes the bug or fly will get in my eye or bite me so I do not want to get near it. And some insects even eat other insects. They live off of each other.

Yes I am terrified of bugs but only the big ones because I know that most of the smaller ones are not harmful. I absolutely hate cockroaches. They're disgusting and dirty. They can also be harmful to your health. I just hate everything about them- the way they walk, the way they look, and everything else. I am also deeply terrified of spiders but only the harmful one. If I see one in my room I will kill it then start cleaning my room and checking every corner. I really don't want a spider to bite me when I'm sleeping.
