My husband and I are both afraid of snakes and spiders. This summer alone I've had to kill two snakes myself and for the first time in my life and it's awful! But it's my yard so get out! lol Besides, I have pets and don't want them to get bitten. We can't stand any type of spider except for granddaddy long legs. Anything with 6 or more legs is just too much.

Yup it sure is. At least that's what everybody called it when I was growing up. My God kids just call it daddy long legs. What a name, huh?

I don't like cockroaches either. I'm not exactly scared of them, but I don't like it. I don't like any of the creepy crawlies. I find they are so silent that we usually only notice them when they're right on top of us and I don't like that feeling. As for other animals, I usually like all of them but I am not too fond of rats or even the small mice. Again I"m not scared of them but I don't like them and think we would live perfectly well without them LOL

i am scared s**tless of the Carntemal animal in south america. it is has sharp teeth, huge claws, body size of a rhino, agility of a cat, speed of a cheetah, intelligence of Einstien. their feed off animal and human brains. thats why if you are in south America, you see animals walking around without brains..and some local villagers too.

I'm not so much afraid of animals or insects as I'm cautious about some of them. Do I want cockroaches around? No, of course not because they are unsanitary and get into your food. I will sometimes tolerate non-poisonous spiders as long as they don't get on me and stay away from what I consider to be my space because they kill insects that are less desirable. I have had spiders on me and it always gives me a start. I had one drop onto my shoulder in the shower once when I was in the Army. I also had a scorpion crawl up my leg when I was a kid.

Hi there! I am also terrified of cockroaches and had been since young. I am especially scared of those that can fly. It's hard to imagine how some people can pick them up with their bare hands. Urghhh!

I think the animal I'm afraid of the most would be snakes. I live in a rural farm area so there are lots of woods and lots of snakes. The insect I am afraid of would probably be spiders. I don't know what is it about them. I guess partially because both snakes and spiders come in poisonous varieties and I can't tell which is poison and which isn't.

you know one thing..only 5% of snakes are poisonous .don't believe me..well we have been taught in our forensic medicine lectures about it...but yes many of the spiders are poisonous although only some of them carry lethal poison..

In the insect i am afraid of the spiders, i think they are very scary, and i don`t like them. Actually in my country they are not common, only some species, but anyway i hate them. The animal that i am afraid is cockroaches too, i think they are terrible, only one bit and you are finished. Thats my opinion.

I totally abhor cockroaches. It's a trait that started out as fear... like I cannot get into the room when I know that a creepy crawler's there. Then one time I got surprised and I got so angry over the 'poor' insect, I killed one with a big stomp! It's like I have a built-in radar for them, I could hear their feet when they're coming and I'd dash out of the room or hide for cover or instinctively make a big, hard stomp on the floor! I'm having goosebumps while I'm writing this, geewhiz...
