Anything that's not human, animal or sea creature is on my fear list lol

Yeah that is true. I can always pick up my bestie Lawrence when I get a car and have him try them *3*

Those were all a problem when I was little. My grandmother's house still gets spiders. Our house has been sealed in several places where ants were getting in before I was born.

@Gwena: I believe that's me as well… Butterflies are pretty, but I don't think I'd like it if one landed on me. I LOVE cats, but I get inexplicably afraid when I'm near one IRL.

Butterflies don't bother me, I simply adore them...........Now everything else buggy on the other hand........Does, lol.

Yep, every cook/chef needs a taste tester and a mad scientist attitude!

I tried to catch butterflies when I was little before I became insect/bug phobic never suceeded lol I love my cats, their sweet - when they don't bite.

Thanks Gwenana~ *twirls around*

The only moving animals bugs that I don't jump(aka scared) at are... mosquito, flies and ants.
The rest... like lizard, mouse, dog, cat, butterfly, spiders... I would make physical 3 steps away from them when I notice them.

When I see a spider, I just freeze in place or move slowly back...lol Unless its really super tiny, than I just squish the living daylights out of it using three pounds of kleenex

Gwena
Yes indeed. Either Lawrence or My boyfriend will be my guinea pigs.

Lol, move slowly back huh Gwen? She totally jumps up, lol.

Or they can both do it. Never no what each one might notice

That's a great idea!

Yeah! I used to be so chill about bugs. I didn't stay around them, but they didn't have me crippled by fear.

lol! Kleenex? Isn't that a cleaning solution?

I have a coakcroach spray with extended thin nose.
When I spot a coakcroach, I would make a jump first, grab that spray, and follow it like a ninja! then spray at it. I spray at it at few minutes interval until I am sure it is dead. Then I will use a broom to sweep it up either end up in waste bin or WC, whichever closest.

Least I don't jump or scream.

@Amame: I know what you mean! I still remember when I was little, playing with earthworms and lightning bugs. Wouldn't do that now.

Kleenex is a brand of facial tissue (here in the states at least) https://www.kleenex.com/

... you use tissue to squish spiders? O__O
Won't the spider left yucky oozy fillings on the box?

Well, I don't use the box, just the tissue but yeah they leave guts all over the wall but you just wipe it with a paper towel or another tissue.

Lightning bugs are pretty, but when I actually see their body, I jump back.

@Amane: I admire them from the window, nice safe distance, lol.

... it irks me to see the yucky insides of any creature... *vomits*

When I was little I had a lime green dress and a yellow dress, the lightening bugs loved them, my dad would have to pick em off me when I went inside the house for the night.

oh... that is lightning bugs... XD Never know their english name. XD
Never seen them before... T__T It is getting rarer as our concrete jungle grows.

Meh, doesn't bother me. I rather see bug guts than the bug alive.

That's where I see lightning bugs now. When I was little, once I went out in my grandparents' yard with my siblings and cousins and we all caught lightning bugs in jars. They died that same night.

I'm too scared to even kill bugs, for gosh sakes.
