I once had a dream about John McCain riding on the back of a giant Camel Spider.Quote:

I live in a log house of sorts, so we get tons of vermin inside. My room, being in the corner of the house(oh no the internet knows where I sleep!), gets the worst of it. I usually get at least one quarter-sized spider every week, which I promptly dispose of with my trusty flyswatter.
However, I've had much, much worse things in my room. For about 3 days straight, I heard a freaky scuffling noise behind my dresser... a day after a mouse we were hunting mysteriously disappeared.
The worst by far was when I was reading in my room at about 1:00 a.m. last summer, and I heard a really loud noise coming from a gap between my dresser and my wall. It sounded exactly like somebody typing. However, it was then that I remembered I have a wood floor... and the "typing" noise was emanating from a 6-inch-long centipede scuttling across the room. I smashed it with a nearby magazine (it was WAY too big for my flyswatter), but I still remember the sickening crunch and the sight of the magazine covered in juice and exoskeleton.
I had to pick green beans today, and the plants were COVERED in daddy long legs. I was so freaked out I barely got half a bucket filled before I basically ran inside screaming. >(
I don't like bugs.
I. HATE. BUGS!
The only kinds of bugs I'm ok with are lightning bugs (also called fireflies by some) and bumblebees. Spiders, June bugs, roaches...*shuddershuddershudder*
I think I would actually cry if I saw one of those, the only centipedes I see are the little cute ones ;_;
and luckily nothing has ever crawled through our sink/tap, I have never heard of that before though xD We get the odd tiny spider in the bath which I drown, ofcourse.
It's these things that haunt me in the early Summer months:

I swear right, I'd rather endure the heat of having all of my windows firmly shut than let one of these fly around my room. They make a horrible noise when they fly, and one got in once and at 3am I got my Dad to kill it, but my Dad just told me he'd killed it as he was tired and couldn't find it. So I was hiding behind my duvet and it went quiet so I peeped a look out of curiosity and then I felt it on my face. I screamed so loud and ran out crying xD
Looks like a crane fly
They appear like giant mosquitos, but I'm pretty sure they're harmless
There's a slang for them here. People call them gallynappers (or however its spelled). And the myth is that they ARE giant mosquitos and leave huge welts
Pfft. The things people believe
He just wanted to show you some love! Give him a kiss :D :D
Edit: Weird. They're one of the three insects freferred to as daddy long legs (I knew of 2)
The others being this guy:

Last one beng what I refer to as a Daddy Long Legs :}
Flies creep me out. Little buggers are just so nasty.
I love daddy long-legs XD
When I lived with my mom, they were EVERYWHERE, so I'd fill up like these container tops with fruit juice and smush up a tiny piece of orange and put it by them and they would eat it.
Not even kidding.
My friend is deathly afraid of bugs. Once, while we were cleaning my mom's pool, I noticed this GIANT fly thing. It was seriously like four inches long and at least an inch wide. It was all green and shiny.
When we got close to it, it flew up and hit him in the side of the head and he started screaming and smacking himself and fell in the pool.
It was great.
He went on that night about how he could feel something moving in his ear and how he thought "that bug thing" laid eggs in his head.
Gosh. I am THAT deathly afraid of flies.
Don't tell me that's not gross!

Flies poop every time they land.
And it tastes real goodQuote:

Additionally, they lay their eggs on mosquitos, so whenever those blasted things land on you, there is a chance that bot fly larva will erupt, entering the bite. And then they feed off you within your body's lower layers of skin and mucous membranes. Eventually, they create a pupae that emerges from the skin.
Bot flies have been found in eyes, necks, backs, brains, noses, anywhere.
THEY smurfING MAKE YOU A SPAWNING GROUND OF smurfING SICKS.
Other than bot flies, I love insects of all sorts - even camel spiders (which aren't technically insects but meh, whatever)
