    Well The one thing im afraid of is not actually a bug BUT NOT ANOTHER LIVING SOUL (my mommy knew but she gone, miss you so much) KNOWS ABOUT IT! ! !
    Here's why .. .
    I was in elementary when a girl confessed to a group of us that she was terrified of worms ... WELL WHATA KNOW, some boys disappeared during breaktime and dug up the grass and earth behind one of the portable building and brought back a cup FULL OF EARTH WORMS and threw them on her ! ! !
    She screamed, hollared, cried, even ripped her clother ... Her mother had to be called to pick her up from school ... SHE WAS hysterical ! ! !
    ALL I could think was, "NEVER EVER EVER TELL ANOTHER LIVING SOUL what Im AFRAID of because if that happened to me ... I
    WOULD
    DIE ! ! ! ! "
    When I say nobody knows ... Thats what I mean ... NO BODY ....Not my husband or children .... I definitely don't think my kids would ever "throw" any on me BUT suppose they slip one day and say it around someone else ... OH HELL NO ...
    I CAN'T TAKE THE RISK ! ! !

    CENTIPEDES. Centipedes are TERRIFYING to me. My cat ran into my bedroom with the tail of a mouse in his mouth, and that didn't phase me nearly as much as a centipede. Their speed is frightening, and they are so ugly. All those damn legs.

    This. I can't...even deal with them. Too many legs. Ugh.

    Spiders scare the ever living hell out of me!

    Other bugs are just annoy, but to top the list of annoying is Love Bugs. Those little *kitten* will peel the paint right off your car! I am so glad I don't live in Florida during love bug season anymore!

    Crickets.

    My brother used to go to the corner store and pick them up for bait.

    then he would taunt me with them and stick them in my face.


    People who say roaches do not know the terror of a palmetto bug flying at your face. (Florida to Texas transplant, they don't go away).

    I hate fire ants and any ants in my home.

    Spiders eat the things but right now it's freaking spider season in my home and my husband wants me to find an exterminator.

    I've seen it mentioned before, but camel spiders/spider crickets are pretty bad.

    Pretty gross. They're sizable, and look like a mashup of spiders, crickets and roaches, and have a mottled coloring that makes them even grosser, somehow. And those long, long antennae. Normally, they live in caves. Because of this, they have terrible eyesight, so quite often they jump AT you when you're trying to kill them.

    Have never seen them in my part of the US until the last couple of years.

    I want to be tolerant of bugs since they have a part to play on the planet, BUT...
    I am the bug slayer. There is one born to each generation. I am compelled to END any and every bug. It is a fight to the death with each bug. So far it's me 765,486 - bugs zero.

    While technically not bugs, I have a problem with anything that has more than six legs: spiders, ticks, centipedes, millipedes, silverfish, earwigs, etc.

    I'm somewhat ok with spiders but all those other things you mentioned are quite creepy. Also dobson fly larvae *shiver*. One of those evil horrid things was in my office building inching its way towards one of the restrooms and I decided it must die Die DIE!!!! Then I freaked out because its carcass was stuck to the bottom of my shoe and I wiped it off on a nearby area rug. Sorry cleaning crew!

    This thread reminded me of a dream I had Sunday morning. I was in some sort of Asian (Thai? Japanese?) restaurant with a slew of friends and family and someone ordered scorpions. All of a sudden they came to life and were crawling all over the place. YIKES!

    SPIDERS...hell no! I can't do those 8 legged creatures, no no no. I'm lucky that I live in a place where they aren't that big, yet any visible spider is too big.

    Well, I don't like tics, mosquitoes, leeches.

    And I get pretty freaked out when I find a Wolf Spider in my house.

    But, I also don't like silver fish and termites.

    I'm probably forgetting something.
