I would bro with a stickbug. He or she may become my only Skype friend besides Cris.
No one wants to Skype with foa. D:
I am okay with the vast majority of bugs. I don't like anything with more than 8 legs and I hate hate hate cockroaches in any incarnation. Like will get upset if I see them.
I will totally let a spider crawl on me, though. Unless it gets in my hair. Bugs are not allowed in my hair unless they are butterflies and cannot bite me.
PS: Also not allowed on my face or in my ears.
I would like to point out, foa, that while reading your response a fly flew pretty much right into my ear and I freaked out.Quote:

One time I was 6, in the bathroom doing the bathroom thing when this giant moth started flying everywhere and freaking me out.
As I was on the toilet and especially vulnerable to the evil machinations of predatory moths, I started screaming bloody murder for my father.
He was amused. And so was the rest of my family when he told them about it.
EDIT: Regardless of that dastardly moth, I quite like them on the whole.
I used to have pet stick insects! They bred like smurfing crazy and I sold loads of the things to people at school. Then we let the rest go in the back garden where they probably all died. They're harmless enough I guess but I don't know if I'd want them on my face like that.
I have held a stick insect 2 times in my life, they look weird. However that guy looks like what would happen if Julian and BoB were to have a baby.
I dislike bugs in general (though can deal with them), but I especially hate spiders and wasps. They are pure evil.
I can abide a wasp being near me and even crawling on me as long as it is not angry or scared.
If it is angry or scared I will attempt to shoo it away. Usually I am successful. If I am not, I leave.
Why do evil insects always show up when you are somewhere where you can't easily escape? (Read: shower)
I like ze bugs.
I don't have much experience with stick bugs. I do like bugs though. I prefer beetles and millipedes though.
Erm, gross-ness.

Sounds cute.Quote:

It felt to help him out. But things like this I can't handle. I have some sort of insane beetle and roach phobia. I have a couple pet spiders though.
Stick bugs are alright. I'm not a real big fan of things being all over me but I don't have any problem having a stick bug on me or whatever.
Millipedes are mostly harmless. Besides, I probably wouldn't mind handling a giant millipede.

Now centipedes, those are the ones you should be very wary of and stay the smurf away from... I mean, good god, have you seen how smurfing scary that thing looks?

Proto understands me. Centipedes are unpleasant, but millipedes are charming. I would like to breed the Giant African variety (as Proto posted) and the Emerald variety (below).

I saw a centipede the other day. I ran away like a little girl because it looked at me.
True story.
I don't like where this thread is going, what with all these pictures and such...
All I know is I've seen a video of a giant centipede take down a field mouse. Poor mouse.
They don't scare me, but I'd probably be careful about handling one.
I saw a centipede once. That's how I set the national record for the marathon.
I like them about as much as I like other bugs; not at all. I wouldn't nuke them from orbit though, cause many of the world's eco systems depend on them.
