    Just not that into bugs, butterflies and fire flies are great though, harmless. I really detest stink bugs, roaches especially flying ones, any kind of bee/wasp if they count)

    The roaches I've seen in Florida are big enough to tote the house away.

    But I do like lizards..

    I don't love bugs. But I won't kill spiders, I just put them outside.

    Bees scare the crap out of me. I'm severely allergic.

    And butterflies give me the heebie jeebies like no other. *shudder*

    I buy two specific bugs for my house.
    1. Whipped tail scorpions aka vinagaroons: thier favorite food is the black widow spider, which we have a lot of in the desert. I buy 3 a year and just release them into my yard.
    2. A praying mantis: those are some bug eating machines!!!! Mosquitos, fly's, spiders, small scorpions, cockroaches.. yep all on the Mantis diet.

    I don't have a particular fondness for any bug, but I respect that it's their world too!

    I do like the noise of the cicadas, reminds me of being a kid and summer.

    I don't like butterflies and moths, too erratic flying and moths always fly into my face. I've always been a bit creeped out by mantises.

    I don't kill bugs unless they attack me or want to feed off of me (mosquitoes, ticks, fleas)

    I need to nats and mosquitoes to my list. I knew I was missing

    Fleas and fruit flies aren't fun and carry diseases too

    Flies are an automatic gross because that's what they are

    Well, spiders are technically arachnids (as are scorpions), so not sure if they qualify as bugs. Guess it depends on your definition. They are, without a doubt, my favorite. Especially jumping spiders and tarantulas.

    I mean, come on.. isn't this cuuuuuute??

    If you want an insect and not an arachnid, then I would have to choose this beauty. Leaf insects are super cool.

    Least favorite?? I dunno, maybe maggots or larvae in general? Adult forms of insects don't bother me, but there's something super creepy about maggots and certain larvae that are maggot-ish in resemblance.
