I guess it's one of those Luna moths. My mom just found it ourside I guess dead. There were a bunch of bugs on it, and dead insects on their own freak me out, and this thing is pretty big :( I took a picture of it, brushed all the bugs into the sink, and stuck the moth in the freezer to kill the rest.
What's the creepiest bug you've ever seen?
Cockroach where it shouldn't be.
I found a GIGANTIC spider in my room! it RAN across me!! I am horrified of spiders! It took like my whole bottle of poison to kill it!! mostly bcus i missed and was to afraid to get near it...
i found an ant once. holy jesus. the thing was normal size. i crapped my pants and ran away in terror.
If it was found outside then why the hell is it inside?? If it's not feeding other bugs what else is it going to do?
Anyway. There's a giant black widow that lives under the stairs to my apartment. We have an agreement though.
That's a pretty big moth. The biggest I've ever seen. The creepiest bug I have ever seen I doubt has been classified yet. It was a translucent centipede with a thick red striped going down it's back. It sort of looked like this, but not really:

It was the same size as this one, but had a clear complexion. It was gross.
EDIT: ...You might want to get rid of that Black Widow. They kill people with one bite.
I hate centipedes..blech..I got stung by one! OWWW!!! they hurt so bad!... I sound like a wuss huH?
WTF is that??

We had a black widow in our house once-- It was on some banana trees my mom brought inside for the winter :O Freaked me out ;.; I was afraid to sleep in my bed for months.
There's also what appear to be brown recluses out in our pumphouse, which isn't connected to the house, so really isn't anything to worry about.
It's a horshoe crab, which is a misnomer, seeing that it's a chelicerate arthropod.Quote:

Either Palmetto Bugs or wicked huge Banana Spiders...
wolf spiders
I have some trama
Here is a link of them. We had them all over us in our tents all around us at boy scouts camp...http://entomology.unl.edu/images/spi...osa_helluo.jpg
Warning link may bother some people.
Millipedes. *shudder*
But that horseshoe crab is pretty smurfing scary. How big is it?
Blech! i wonder what horseshoe crab would taste like....
lovehurts You had more than one of those on you! What the hell did you do?
Oh, yeah, I forgot about the terrible night one of these crawled out of my sink drain while i was trying to brush my teeth ;.;; it was terrible.

Well it's like this . We sleept in tents. Some times the spider comes in , sometimes the spider doesnt. We would be lseeping at night most the time the spider would just climb in the tent and would cling to the walls...sometimes the spider clinges to your sleeping bag. Most ot us tightly tucked in the bags because of fear of the spider crawling on our bear skin...You hold your back tightly shut loosing sleep hoping that the spider doesnt find a way into your bag. You feel your own hair on your body and you almost loose it altogther. Sometimes youd feel something crawling on you at night. Always you had to look up when after waking up because the spider would be on the tents roof and if you stood up and scare the spider he would climb on you , like he did to one scout. The leaders rushed the scout and helped get rid of the spider. The spiders so damn big that when you catch them they are put into tanks at the scouts research center for animals to studdy the enormous things. Talking about it now with my own hair on my ears and up against my skin I feel terrified. I feel jumpy even though it is no spider. YOu could see all of its eyes glare at you. Some scouts would wake up and see it just staring at them. The spider may have been afaird but the scouts were horrified and the spider became all too friendly. I never had them on my skin directly but They crawl on the bag , they crawl all over you and you wake up and sometimes they can be near your feet or above your head.....Quote:

My brother and I as scouts caught a spider like this one , we caught him in a bucket he was too scared to jump out but a spider that big could easily have escaped. He was in our tent and wouldnt leave.We couldnt go to sleep with our new buddy any longer. We couldnt take it, and he was still there after the morning we ran out of our tent screaming a big spider running about us. He clinged to out tent wall, we ran in ther with a bucket some how got the spider in.
*shakes himself off*
That would be horrible. Could you have not gone home? I would have stayed up all night OUTSIDE the tent. I could feel your fear when i was reading that. Ewwwwwwwwwwwww.
I was a boy scout. All the scouts tuffed it out but to be honest after about 3 to 4 days into it I went to a plastic tent.Quote:

I had to get badges to work my way up in the ranks, but I quit scouts a few years back.
...I don't think I've seen bugs creepy enough to be worth mentioning.
It seems like spiders always end up crawling across my keyboard at night while I'm typing though. I die every time. :D
That has got to be the cutest thing ever. <3Quote:

Looks cute and cuddly, ne? It's cute... but sooo not cuddly. I was walking by one day and saw it. Touched it. (I'm more than an idiot.) And I had this big ol' rash half way up my arm for a whole week. It hurt like hell and I so wanted it to be my little pet... teach it tricks and stuff... Oh, how my dreams were shattered.:cry:
Oh my gosh. What is that?
The little bugger most have not like to be bugged.Quote:

You had to live near them? I had a hard enough time being around them only for a month. *bows to show respect to you*
Feona ,Im sorry ofr posting my picture I keept it in a link to be considerate though.
No no, don't worry about it. I'm the one with the stupid phobia. -_-
I can understand how you feel after some run ins with "critters" They are afaird of you too, trust me. You wont see them. YOu wouldnt have seen or feelt them with or without this thread,:) It'll be ok I understand your feelings but consider that if you hadnt seen the thread you wouldnt have been reminded or fearfull of seeing anything like that. So look at it that way and realize that today could have been like yesterday and on both days today and yesterday you wont be seeing any bugs like that.:)Quote:

These were green scout canvas tents. At boyscouts camp no fancy zippers or anything like that. No windows either. A wolf could walk in if he wanted to . I dont know if there are wolves in the area just a example.Quote:

It's rather ironic actually. Lovehurts: The relationship between me and Itchy. ^^
I slept in a tent at a girl scout camp once, it was very big and open :O
we have wolf spiders I think. They're they fuzzy ones, right? xD Not the big tarantulas, but the ones about the size of a silver dollar?
Wolf spiders are crosses between wolves and spiders, right? xD
Oh dear.
Just reading your account of those wolf spiders and that night camping made my hairs stand up. I hate spiders.
Pretty bug.
Oh man there was a cockroach on one of Matt's bath towels while I was at his place and it was HUGE and I couldn't move and it was so scary.
I'm so afraid of cockroaches it isn't funny. D:<
cockroaches and any type of worm other than an earthworm.
Thanks. :DQuote:

A couple days ago I walked into the bathroom and turned the light on.There was a huge grayish/brown spider in the middle of the floor and I screamed my head off.I grabbed the insect poison and started trying to spray it,I missed each time because my hand was shaking too much.It then ran behind the toilet and then it went under a bunch of towels...I ran out screaming and haven't seen it since...
God, I hope it's dead.
Arachnid son of a biscuit eater...
I live with wolf spiders too, but I've only had two close encounters. Once it was under my blouse and popped out at me another time it was crawling up my leg, I freaked, it freaked, and I screamed and cried and stood on a chair until my friend Kelsey came over to kill it for me. Haven't seen one in awhile though
I did see an interesting critter a couple of days ago. A very whispy looking spider, an orange body with black legs, he was very beautiful, but huge. Then those dang millipedes in my basement, they've got to be stalking me, they follow me all around the house. Never seen a centipede thank god.
Oh my Zorg, Rubah, that is huge!
Sounds like it may be a banna spider.Quote:

Anyways, oddd looking spiders get to me, big ones like Tarantuals and the samll house type dont bug me, but the ones that have huge white bodies or yellow and orange bodies that just drop down in front of you, those i hate.
Are wolf spiders the fast ones with grey/brownish bodies?

Which ones are bigger, Centipedes or Millipedes?
I'm pretty sure millipedes can get longer.
Those things scare the [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img] out of me.

I know I love being bit by either of these, one causing skin necrosis and the other injecting me full of a powerful neurotoxin. What more can I say, I love these creatures, particularily when I roll in bed and find one sitting there waiting for me on my pillow. Such lovely beady eyes, staring at me intently... And how quickly the former runs, it's nigh light speed, I swear. I just love a quick bite to my leg...
I am generally not afraid or paranoid about insects or spiders, and am in fact rather intrigued by them, but these two bother me, and cause me to keep my distance - for the most part. The old saying that curiosity killed the cat holds very true with me. Ever held a black widow before? I have, though I will tell you I was scared [img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img][img]/xxx.gif[/img]less, but now I can say that I have accomplished such a stupid, foolish risk unto my health.
I'd say Centipedes are.Quote:

In cold areas, I always see incredibly tiny bugs on the windows. So tiny you can't see their legs. So tiny it would take an hour for them to move an inch. They came in red and green. >.>
I second that.Quote:

I once saw a huge daddy-long-legs/crane fly(?), they're the ONLY insects that I can say I'm scared of. xD Just because they can't fly probperly! >=( Stupid things.
They shall be visiting you tonight. ^^Quote:

I have bugs like this in my house in Italy. They come out at night and they freak me pretty much out.
Ugh, I know I shouldn't be reading this thread.
I was getting into my shower one day when a huge spider dropped right past my shoulder. Dunno what it was, but it was big, it was fuzzy, and I was gone in an instant. Never saw it again. I think my brother might've though.
I don't have any problems with moths, but my Dad's scared to death of 'em. It can be pretty funny at times, actually. Most of the time, if I find a bug in my house, I'll catch it and let it outside. Spiders though ... when they invade my territory, they die.Quote:

These are the craneflies that freak the crap out of me.
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...0714-5799A.JPG
Girlfriend just showed me this one
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi...arwing5239.JPG This one's a bee that sometimes thinks its a butterfly
That top moth looks so cute!!:love: I don't think that I could bring myself to kill something like that. I don't mind bees either, just the damn wasps and hornets. Best way of disposal = Fire, hehehe.:evilking:
I'm with you. But that's because bees aren't aggressive, they're defensive. Wasps and hornets get unpredictable aggressive. But wasps don't usually bother me anymore. I've gotten to the point where I can let a bee or a wasp land on me without freaking out. I think maybe wasps pick up on you being scared and somehow find it a threat. They haven't bothered me since I stopped being bothered by them. I even swat them away now and they don't dare come after me. Hornets have become rare in this area these days. I haven't seen one since I was a kid. There used to be tons of hornet nests/hives around where I grew up. Dunno what happened to them
We've got tons of wasps around where I live. In fact, for a couple years, we had a huge nest of 'em living under our back porch steps (they're hollow) I got used to ignoring them, and they don't bother me either. Of course, they also like to build nests in the chimney of a chimnea(sp?) we've got, and I'm always the one who gets to build a fire in there ... they don't like that much.
YAh...just wait until you see its ugly face glaring at you.Quote:

craneflies/may flies aren't moths? moths are the fake butterfly looking ones xD
rocket edge, I think its wings are about two inches wide apiece, and includeing it's little tail thing at the end, it's probably four inches long
What the...it's like a cross between a rodent, a fly, a spider and something unidentifiable.Quote:

JK, it was his idea though not mine...yell at him. The little cute ...big cute bug....

I still say my old friends are the worse...
I don't think I'm scared of any insect... but I can't be sure as I havent had the pleasure to meet them all.
Oh, dear. I bet the pepsis wasp would scare you. The most painful sting of any stinging insect.http://www.bugman123.com/Bugs/Photos/TarantulaHawk1.jpg
Nope, I've seen a millipede in the pet store that was longer. And fatter.Quote:

I like insects, most insects anyway...I think they're cute. Anyway, the only insects I hate/fear are cockroaches and ants (bad childhood experience)
Giant stick insects........I went to Australia about three months ago and I saw two of them. They were honestly almost a foot long each and about and inch fat. I was seriously creeped out. So creeped out, in fact, that I couldn't sleep that night. Insects don't usually bother me......these ones DID :(
http://i7.:bou::bou::bou::bou::bou::...u:/24edh12.jpg
Mind you, I wouldn't want that flying in my face.
Millipedes aren't poisonous though.Quote:

I had a spider like that outside one of our sliding glass doors last year. Someone kept knocking its web down:(
Banana Spiders.
I hate Banana Spiders. Actually, I hate all spiders. They're so scary. There was one in the shower once and I ran out of the bathroom(grabbing a towel, of course) and told my dad to kill it. ;_____________;
Hell, where can I find some?Quote:

It flew at my face and I screamed and burst into tears.
