    I like butterflies! And moths.

    I am mostly fine with bugs unless they are crawling on me. I am someone who will stop to watch bugs for a minute if I see them. I always kindof secretly wanted a tarantula as a kid.

    Scorpions are the worst bugs alive, though.

    My more serious answer:

    There is a special hatred in my heart for mosquitoes. I am very allergic to them, and also apparently very attractive as well. I would have no problem with exterminating the entire family, men, women, and children.

    I have a strong phobia of bees, but I don't actively loathe them like I do mosquitoes.

    I hate a lot of bugs, but most of them don't bother me, and if they get too close they get squished.

    Argh, but there are some really weird bugs. There's this field where my friends and I sit at night, and a couple of days some creepy-alien-looking flying bug attacked us. I don't have idea what the smurf that one was.

    ...I hate bugs.

    ANYTHING THAT BUZZES ARGH I HATE

    Wasps right now are the worst. Sometimes they try to come in the house and I have to cleverly convince them that the outside world is a much more interesting and better place. Also, I went to a few food places and they were crawling around in the display and in the food

    I don't particularly enjoy them buzzing in my face, or feasting up my blood, but other than that, most bugs I'm fine with.

    My favorite around here might be the Eastern Hercules Beetle. They're a little smaller than the palm of your hand, and really neat looking. I found one at the shop a few weeks ago.

    I hate ticks, fleas, spiders, and this super weird black with white spots bug that has really long antennae. I swear it came from another dimension.
    Also, centipedes. Or millipedes. Hell, I hate both.

    I love stick bugs, grasshoppers, praying mantises, inch worms, and caterpillars. And butterflies and lady bugs.

    I really don't mind bugs who are beneficial and who kill pests. I don't mind spiders and house centipedes, because they kill grain beetles, carpet beetles, and (gods forbid) bed bugs.

    Actually, if you see a house centipede, there are probably good odds that you have some kind of beetle pest for them to be feeding on, which means you really don't want to kill them. House centipedes are harmless to humans and very shy. Now, if I had dozens of them, I'd do something about it, but I saw one scurry away once, and I didn't really bother looking for it.

    Which ones are poisonus? Millipedes? Can't they kill you? IDGAF I hate them.a

    And wasps too. They love our balcony. There were 2 nests built back to back after we got rid of the first one out there. Assholes.

    Bed bugs scare me as well. Not that I've ever had an infestation of them, but just the thought of it happening freaks me out. Parker asked me about them once after I said "Night night, don't let the bed bugs bite!" (she asked me if they're real), and I was like "uh... Yeah. But. We don't have them. Don't worry."

    Besides my obvious fear of moths, pretty much every insect I can't really stand. No seriously:

    Butterflies are like the annoying lesser cousin of the moth. Thankfully, they dwell outside, so they're fine.
    Spiders, depending on size, are either annoying or downright scary.
    Caterpillars are just disgusting, writhing things, much like worms.
    Beetles are gross.
    Wasps and bees are vary between irritant and hellspawn.
    Flies are just annoying, full stop.
    Stick insects are freaky, but slow moving, so they are okay, I guess, if they are in a closed box.
    Daddy long legs, *shiver*

    I've probably missed out loads more, but this list would get too log. I really, really, hate bugs.

    I work in an ER and anytime someone comes in and we find bed bugs on them we have to section off the room, have someone come in and steam clean it, and change our scrubs. I hear they are a NIGHTMARE to get rid of if you get them in your home.

    Also, they mate by the male using his knife penis to stab the female's belly. I guess it makes sure he's the daddy..........
    Disgusting!
    Boo!

    What Denmark said. Bees are bros. Not all of them sting anyways, but even the ones that do generally don't go out of their way to sting unless you're moving and frightening them. It's more like, "Oh, hey! You're wearing a brightly coloured shirt and some good smelling stuff! Wait a minute...you're a not a flower. Oh, man, my mistake. Have a great day, madam!"

    I love bees. I want a tattoo of one.

    I LOVE bees! They're so silly and sad and adorable. Beetles are the supreme clueless ones. Moths are totally benign and fairly stupid. Butterflies are the best when they cuddle up with you!

    I really like non-aggressive bugs! I'm gonna be a bug-type pokemon gym leader one day! ^o^

    :monster:

    I usually dislike anything that flies and can sting me (although I've gotten to be ok with bees after years and years of practice - I got stung by a yellow jacket when I was five and it gave me an irrational phobia of bees for a long time).

    I also have an irrational hatred of cockroaches.

    Spiders. I once found a funnel web in the mailbox as a child and it's forever scarred me. Even Huntsmen freak me out.
