Lobsters terrify me they look like big oversized bugs and they are really scary to look at. I do not like lots of bugs either and really do not like june bugs cause them thing really scare me. I will not go outside if there is one there. There was one on the door one day when I was outside and I would not go back in the house til someone got rid of it. They get caught in your hair and they are sticky and just really gross to look at because fo the size of them.Those things I could live without.

Me too. When my daughter was going to school she had a picture of a snake on the page that she was studyig. She asked me for help but before I could look at the page she had to put a piece of paper over it. I am so terrified of even a picture. I do not know why. My ex husband has a phobia about spiders. And my aunt has a phobia about rats.

Snakes,bugs,insects,lizards,bears,just about any kind of animal besides a domesticated cat, dog,ferret,Guinea pig,mouse, scares me. Well some scare me just based on looks alone. Others scare me cause they cane harm or kill me while others scare me just because of the unknown of what they can do.

I think, it would be rodents. Mice, rats, and other rodents are creepy and they just scare my heart out. Sometimes it feels funny,how a small creature can even make you feel vulnerable!

i really have such a phobia of bugs- really any kind of bug. it is sad actually. :) when i lived home with my parents i would always call my dad to come and kill bugs- now i do it to my husband. just thinking about bugs makes my skin crawl. i think that is one of the reasons i am not an outdoorsy person- i cannot stand the bugs outside. lol- a couple of months ago, when it was still real warm, i came home from work one night. i get out of work around 10:30 at night and usually get home around 11. well, i parked my car in the driveway, got out and started walking up to the front door. my husband had left the porch light on for me, which you would think was a nice thing to do. but no, because when i started walking across the porch i happened to look down and saw that there were these huge black bugs everywhere- crawling on the ground, flying around the light, sitting on the screen door, etc. well, it was like a scene from a movie- lol- i started backing up real slow, started hyperventilating, and then turned around and booked it back to my car, where i proceeded to call my husband on the house phone from my cell phone and told him he had to come outside and walk me in! LOL it was definitely not funny then, but thinking back now it was. i was literally crying by the time we got inside. then there was the time i was driving home from work (yet another night) and it was about a minute into my commute when i saw a big spider crawling across the inside of my windshield. i started panicking, so i pulled into the first gas station i came across, which was like 20 seconds later, and ran out of my car and into the station. luckily there was only the girl working there and what seemed like her boyfriend, so i asked him if he would come out to my car and kill the spider for me! lol when i told my husband that he wouldn't stop laughing at me. :) i really think sometimes that i need some counseling for this problem or something! :)

Hi sam.. I used to be scared of bugs but now I have to be brave because of my grandsons..*smiles* I don't like bats when they are in the house and flying around... I don't mind spiders as long as I don't walk through their web...I freak out and think they are on me...

I know what you mean bugs have always scared me really bad but I have to put on a brave front in front of my children so they don't end up with unnecessary fears . We have even went as far as to name houseflies so the baby will think they will not hurt her when we tell her that they are our pets :) Thank you for your response .

Spiders, caterpillars, mice, roaches of any kind. Grasshoppers, frogs, snakes... I have this fear, because these type of rodents are not human, they look very scary.. I hate for them to crawl on my skin..

Spider - fear for spiders
It is the spider, that scared me a lot in the past. I was so scared that I used to dream spidernets while sleeping. I forgot there is a specific name in psychology for this phobia. Let me search in the net.

I really don't care for spiders myself and am more nervous of them since I read an email about how some in our country can even be deadly . I never knew we had any deadly bug in our country so this has made me more nervous of something I already did not like :) Thank you for your response .

Slugs - squishy and leave bug trail. Funny thing is that snakes don't scare me (well, I have a healthy scare of them, of course). I have no idea why I am afraid of slugs, they definitely can't hurt me.

I hate cockroach, big spiders, rats of course,, those big animals that are supposed to be in the wild like tigers, lions, bear, etc. I hate cockroaches and rats before they're dirty and they are pests. The others like tigers, etc, I'm afraid of them is I ever would encounter them some place else except the zoo because I wouldn't know how to handle them. You know, I don't know what to do should that happen. I'd say ignorance is really dangerous.

I can't really think of one. I guess because I've always been a creature person. Bugs fascinated me, snakes don't scare me and neither do animals. It used to be a joke in one place I worked that whenever a bug,or creature got stuck in someone's office I was always the one who had to get it out because I was not afraid of it.

There's only one creature in this world that continues to frighten the living daylights out of me!S-P-I-D-E-R! There's just something about this creature that I don't understand and I don't particularly want to understand it! I don't like spiders, they scare me, they torture me whenever they are close and I just cannot help my feelings regarding them. They have so many legs. They crawl at great speeds and they can even fall on top of your head if they are on your ceiling! People say that they are harmless, I'm not so sure, they look so sinister as though they are concentrating on you and you alone! I just wish that I did not have this fear. I'm constantly checking my bed before I go to sleep, just to make sure that there's no spider crawling around in secret. There have been times in the past when I would suddenly awaken during the course of the night and this spider would crawl away so fast that I would be unable to locate it. Spiders are the stuff of nightmares! Andrew

I am terrified of snakes and that is the only thing that I am afraid of. I have a deathly fear of them. If I think about them I cannot sleep for fear of dreams of them. I am not afraid of spiders, rats or anything else. Not even afraid of the dark.
