Do bugs freak you out?

The older I get the less scared of bugs I am. I don’t enjoy them in my house and I don’t really care for them to be right next to me, but I appreciate that they have a purpose for the whole ecosystem.

For some reason grasshoppers and locusts creep me out. The 8th Plague of Egypt is probably my worst nightmare.

bugs don't freak me out but I'm not a fan of them - just got a scarab beetle pendant from my bestie - he wanted it to symbolise my upcoming spinal surgery being the rebirth of having my life back

Like most things, depends on where I see them. If they’re where they’re supposed to be, then no. If they’re in an unexpected place and surprise me, then yes. However I’m out in the garden collecting my produce, and there’s a bunch of spiders in the way or something, I’m not a fan of that.

Not really. Only if they unexpectedly crawl on me. Also, show some love for The Tick! I grew up with the cartoon, and it was hilarious. I still quote lines from it sometimes.

But they’re so good to have in your house because they get all the other bugs! I always leave them alone when I see them.

Mostly I just hate it when bugs get on my bed, then I freak out, but otherwise, just remain calm and vanquish them.

Not a fan of bugs. I live in a new build that was once farmland, so we get swarms of springtails and red flour beetles. Literally the smallest bugs ever, but are always found in the hundreds and hard to get rid of.

Most bugs are fine, as long as they're not dangerous. Heck mosquitos, but they're working on a way of neutralizing their diseases!

Mantises kinda freak me out because they have necks they can turn to watch you and pupils in their eyes. They're very aware of us. Kinda creepy.
