I am not a big fan of bugs and spiders, in fact I do have a spider phobia so I can't be near a spider for long without screaming hysterically!!
Bugs are the same but I can tolerate them for slightly longer than spiders, but I do end up running away like a headless chicken.
What about you, are you scared of bugs or spiders?

I don't like to look at pictures of snakes, either and especially in person! I'm trying to face my fears, but have't gotten to snakes yet!

Bugs do not usually bother me unless they are trying to bite me. I am not fond of them in my house, but I will try to get them outside unharmed rather than kill them unless they are mosquitoes or something like that.
Spiders, on the other hand, are an entirely different story. I am afraid of spiders and avoid them whenever possible. That being said, I do sometimes like watching spiders when they are outside, because they are interesting creatures. I also used to like tarantulas, believe it or not, until my friend tortured me with his pet tarantula.

Hi Gud. I am not scared of them, but I aint having them crawl on me thats for sure.
I will kill them without hesitation in that case.

@gudheart I walk around with a spray bottle of Lysol and spray them, the kitchen or bathroom spray kills them, does make me wonder if I should be using it though!! I have mostly switched to non-toxic cleaners.

I have never liked spiders. I have had sort of freakish phobia about bugs since someone told me when I was a kid that earwigs would crawl in your ears. Then come this last summer we had a infestation of bed bugs. It got pretty bad before I realized I wasn't going to be able to eradicate them as I had thought. It seems that they were mostly around my bed and I had bites and ......Ooooh! So I called maintenance and told them. They had us catch one(oooh again) to prove this was what we had before they would call the exterminator. So I did and the exterminators were called. To this day I can't stand the thought of them. I had nightmares for several weeks afterwards. Ya, I don't like bugs.

Neither bother me much but my granddaughter (shes 14) is deathly afraid of spiders. If she sees a spider she practically has a panic attack

I am not afraid of spiders (my son is, though) but I have phobia on earthworms. I faint when a piece of this is in front of me.

@gudheart i get so icky with these creatures moving. I developed the phobia when my older brother picked one live worm and showed it to me, bringing the worm in a stick. i was trembling when he did that.

I'm not really scared of them, but I don't want them in my house so my son and husband have to get them out.

I am afraid of certain spiders - those such as Black Widows. Bugs I don't like but they don't scare me.

I don't mind some spiders, and am petrified of others. Bugs are fine. :)
