1. Cockroaches.

As a result of growing up in Texas (and now safely residing in Washington State where there aren't any), I have a mortal terror of cockroaches. Show me spiders, show me snakes, show me mice and rats, and I'm solid as a rock. Show me cockroaches, and I will literally jump up onto a chair and whimper in terror.

I'm not proud of that, but there it is...

Not all of them, but the long, high ones scare me and I hate having to drive over them. I have nightmares about high bridges.

The order doesn't signify anything.
