Oh God, off all the things that I could be afraid of. Heights, snakes, dogs, alligators or what have you I am afraid of tiny insects..
If I could choose I'd rather be afraid of something I don't usually see like a snake perhaps or a crocodile.
I love outdoor activities and I just can't enjoy much knowing that there is a huge possibility that a butterfly is gonna land on my head!
It's just a pathetic phobia!! why oh why!!!
Why does it have to be insects?! they're everywhere, they're even on our skin (microscopically) or in and out of our bodies! Soooooo creepy!!!!
You? what's your phobia? does one of your favorite activities get impaired because of that phobia?

Bees and Wasps, or and dragonflies..but thats because i was told they sting like the bees or wasps..but never did ever find out of that was true..lol. Spiders and ants that most ppl dont like, dont bother me. I mean i dont want them crawling on me, but if i see one i wont run for the hills like i will with the others.

I am not sure that I have any phobias but I know that I don't like insects especially wasps and bees. Flies aren't any fun either. And I don't like mice.

Honestly, I am definitely in the minority, but I find them so fascinating. I am not scared at all. Then again, I suppose as an aspiring biologist I would have to show some sort of interest in insects and animals. I do have fears though. One being strangers. It's not so much I am scared of them, I just feel awkward while talking to one face to face.
