Do you like spiders?/ Do you like insects? I'm sure there is one insect you like, be it a ladybug or a butterfly. Tell me what one insect you like. Tell me what one bug you hate? What is the differences between spiders and insects? what are their similarities? Do you feel like you are in some kind of class? lol Just some thoughts because a lot of people don't know anything about bugs except to squish them under their feet. Does anyone have any theories about why they were put on this earth? I can give you these answers but first I want to hear your thoughts on it. Come on be brave!! Its not like they are here by you.

So you think you like insects, spiders and stuff huh? Are you an entomologist or something? I wish you could visit the Philippines and see for yourself what insects are and what can they do to you.
There must be a reason for their existence on earth other than for maintaining ecological balance in nature and this "food chain" thing.
Some varieties of spiders are good playthings and children here are playing with spiders a lot, I don't talk about tarantulas and black widow ones, just the common grass spiders. I used to like them when I was a kid, they are harmless.
Insects or bugs that I hate most are mosquitos and cockroaches. Incidently there was a recent epidemic of dengue fever here few months back. This was caused by mosquito bites. There is a particular specie of mosquito called Aedes Egypti that are carriers of dengue.
Cockroaches are terrible creatures too. When you got bitten by them, the part affected will swell in seconds and they could result to high fever as well. There are tons of other insects here both harmful and harmless. I could send you some via Fedex if you want. LOL

It must be a teeny weeny spider you put in there. Either that or there was a Stockholm syndrome, captors developed a friendly relationship with their captives. LOL
Speaking of 2 weeks with no head, many can survive more than than. Look at the discussions posted here that have been floating around for more than 2 weeks. hahaha!
Ok, I'll take a break for a while. See ya soon!

Yea right, as Faith looks around the room to make sure there are none of those nastey creepy crawly eight legged things. I am terrified of the "s" word ones you mentioned. It's only by a miracle that I am here today - was bitten by a poisonous one 6 years ago. I was afraid of them before that but truely am terrified now. I freak if I see one.
