I am so scared of spiders. Last night I got up around 1:30 to use the restroom and I saw the biggest spider in my hall. I let out a low scream because it scared me. I got my shoe to kill it only to miss two times. I fianlly got the job done. I had nightmares about them because it was the last thing on my mind when I went back to sleep. Is there anything that you're scared of?

Spiders are actually my favourite insect and the only insect I don't kill if it comes into the house, I welcome them because they eat the flies and other nasty creepy crawlies! I am scared of wasps, mainly because I am highly allergic of them and one sting could actually kill me! So I have to carry a special injection with me in case I get stung! So I hate the summer when they are around!

I would be scared of wasps also if I were allergic to them. Do you get nervous to go outside in the summer? I think I would. When I was a kid my mom was bit by a brown recluse spider. It ate through her skin....that's one of the reasons why I'm so scared of spiders. Have a good day.

I hate roaches. I live in Florida, where they grow to be twice as big as the roaches found in the northern states. It doesn't matter how clean the house is or how many roach traps I put out, they keep coming back. Now that the weather has gotten cooler they are going to get worse. They can squeeze under the doors and through air vents. Once I even found one crawling on the ceiling and it startled me really bad. I thought it would try to jump on me.

Oooh. I'm scared of roaches too. Mainly because I don't want them to get on me. They invade your space and I don't like that. Good luck.

The ocean scares me. Out there if you get too tired you can't stop swimming or you drown. Also on land there's no critter that I couldn't at least make work for his meal, not so in the ocean. Out there it's GULP ...gone.

The only thing I am scared of is yellowjackets, and that's because I've been stung by them! Now I don't go anywhere near them! Snakes don't scare me, unless I almost step on them, and they surprise me! Spiders don't scare me any, but I do despise the black widow! Mice don't scare me, we've worked around them alot around barns! Oh yes, there is another one, skunks, I totally don't go anywhere near a skunk!

I'm scared of all of the above...lol. I'm not really scared of them they just creep me out and I don't want to be bit or stung. Mice creep me out because they are so quick and they eat everything. I've never been close to a skunk and hopefully I never will be.

I am scared of spiders too and mice and rats, but I think we are in the majority, spiders are so creepy and crawly, I just freeze when I see one.

I am scared of worms and anything that looks like worms. I have the biggest scare when I was sleeping on a mattress on a floor then somethingn cold stuck on my skin. I woke up to see a fat leech on my arm......I guess I screamed so loud I woke up all the people in our house.

I am always scared of the mouse. They are the most dirty and ugly animals in the world. Whenever I see a mouse, I can't help screaming. It is really horrible for me even if it is only a small animal.

Last month, at my grandmother's house there a frog at her kitchen. When I saw it, I told my mom that I want to go home because I already having pee in my pants. I don't care whatever people want to say about me. The important is I will never get near over it! EEE...yucks! **prettyhanan**

HAHA,Maybe you are not so scared as you thought,because you dared to kill the spider when you see it,many people choose to escape when they see the animals they are scared of,so do I,and I am scared of the snake,I think it is so lousy.

The only thing I am really scared of is heights. Insects and other things don't really bother me at all. In fact if their is an insect or spider in the house I am usually the one that catches it and then throws it back outside. PurpleTeddyBear.

Honestly, I am not scared of spiders but I feel very irritated with that wierd and disgusting creature. I dont like spiders and lizards in my room or my house. I just throw them away from my house if I catch one. I am very scared of honey bee. I think it bites realy hard. When I was areound 14, a honey bee came and sat on my right shoulder. I was so scared that i didnt moved for 10-15 minutes standing still. I was probably waiting for that honey bee to fly away from me. And at last, it flew away making me feel relaxed......... I think these creatures are small in size but it can cost you a lot if you try to tease them!
