10. I don't like the spiders
I hold no ill will towards them. If one gets in my path, I just move it elsewhere. They give me the creeps.

4. Ticks make my skin crawl.
I literally have to take a shower and wash my hair if I find a tick on me, whether it's attached or not. Even if it is just on my clothing, I always take a long scrubbing shower and wash my hair being careful to feel all around on my scalp. I've seen Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever does to a person. I'm just too creeped out not to go into my bathing ritual if I see a tick. Ick.

5. All of them?
They're all like something out of H.P. Lovecraft's nightmares.

6. Spiders.
I know they can be beneficial, blah blah blah. I just can't get over my primordial creeped-out reaction to them. :scared:

12. Ants, tics, Japanese beetles.
Some bugs are more disgusting but I rarely have to deal with them.

14. Wasps and Hornets
I love the Honey Bee, and a Bumble Bee doesn't bother me, but these guys scare me when they fly around just looking for a person to land on to sting.



Just look at those compound eyes. Yikes. :scared:
