Spiders... .___.

[Blue Star Princess]

How do you feel about them? : /

I personally have a strong dislike for them and always have. D: Every time I see one I totally freak out and it's ridiculous. D:

[PringlesXD]

Get them away from me! AAAGH!

[Blue Star Princess]

Get them away from me! AAAGH!
I completely agree! I saw one the other day and totally freaked out over it.
Luckily though I had a friend over who took care of it for me. xD

[Lumina]

I hate hate hate spiders!

[Downward]

Hate 'em. They creep me out. >_>

I have a friend who loves picking on me about my arachnophobia. She thinks spiders are cute (WHAT). She hates frogs though, so I pick on her about that in retaliation. >_>

(Great, now I'm thinking about spiders... *shudder*)

[Lumina]

I looooove frogs!

[PringlesXD]

Oh, not frogs. I have frog phobia. At least real ones. Anime frogs are cute.

[Downward]

I looooove frogs!

Well, naturally. (http://i.imgur.com/7s6EX.png)

(I always thought normal Gergo looked sort of like a frog too. Well, a frog...bear...thing.)

[Cloud]

I make it a personal mission to seek and destroy every spider that I notice crawling about in my room. Makes me feel safe.

[Gintoki]

In addition to spiders, I also hate bees, wasps, hornets, bumble bees, yellow jackets, and lady bugs.

Frogs don't bother me. Neither do earthworms.

[PringlesXD]

How come you people can like frogs? Uuugh.
I also fear bees, wasps and hornets.

[Lumina]

Frogs are so cute, I don't know how you could be afraid of them. :)

[Gintoki]

What is a frog going to do to you anyways? They can't hurt you like spiders, bees, and snakes can.

[Redhorse]

I like spiders, why everyone hate them? D:
They're cool and adorable and awesome...

I don't like bees though (around me anyways). I've been stung 8 times at once 'cause the tree I was sitting in had a hive in it. :( But I kinda had to learn to live with them, 'cause they're all around my house.
I like frogs! :D I used to keep them~
I like snakes too, but I don't have one. <3

Plus I couldn't kill anything myself, not even bugs. :( So I can't just squish 'em when they annoy me.

[Gintoki]

Thats why I hate ladybugs. They always come in swarms when it gets warm out, and if you kill them they make a bad smell and it attracts even more of them...Leave me alone!

[Shizuka]

I love spiders, what's the problem with them?

[Tiamat]

I hate spiders too, always have. They are gross and creepy!!! If I see a big one unexpectedly I am prone to scream like a girl and run away. very manly of me. but then I go back and kill it somehow, or get someone else to do it. I also think parasites like ticks are incredibly disgusting.

also, froggies are cute!! =D

[WoottWinds]

Spiders have always been my #1 fear since I was little. They creep me the hell out. Put one that's bigger than a quarter in front of me and I'll most likely scream and run far far away.

Frogs on the other hand have been my all-time favorite animal for as long as I can remember. They're so adorable and awesome, especially the Poison Dart Frogs which are all just gorgeous.

[Crimson Cloud]

I absolutely positively hate bees. Aside from the fact that I'm rather allergic to them, their buzzing sound is so annoying.
Spiders are... depends what kind. Those small ones are rather harmless and they usually take only a small corner of a room so I don't bother them... :p

[Sgt Phantomizer]

I hate spiders as well, i'm not so sure of screaming like a little girl...i don't think i've ever done that, but they do creep me out, pretty much any creepy crawlers creep me out....i was sitting cross-legged on the floor a few days ago, organizing my stacks of magazines and a silverfish ran right beside me and i literally jumped and fell to the side..... x______x

[Raguna]

Im neutral with spiders don't hate'em don't love'em. My fears are on a more personal level of losing someone I hold dear. I had to experience that once and I don't want it to happen again.

[Shoot that Way]

I like spiders. I hate flies. Hate them to the point I'll catch them and trap them in my pet toad's tank. My toad will eat those flies like they're nothing.
I used to catch flies and throw them into spider webs for the spiders to eat them, before I had a toad.

[reyvard]

oh spoilers :) the best creation of the human being ;)

[PringlesXD]

Spoilers? What?

[perrandy]

well, i dislike spiders but i acknowledge that they are beneficial because they are natural enemies of bugs

flies and gnats annoy me so much

[reyvard]

oh missunderstood ! I don't really mind if they are very very small and innofensive !

[AweOfShe]

I think I don't like bugs in general. I have a paranoia that they will crawl into my nose, ears, or mouth, while I'm sleeping. >_<

[Gintoki]

They'll also lay eggs in your stomache...

[Suou]

Spiders?
I dont really dislike them. I dont kill them when i see them. I will only catch them and throw them outside if they are too many making their webs in my house. Spiders are helpful xD
Frogs??? EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEW!

my room have lots of visitors at night...
I get mosquitos...beetles...moths...bees...
and i live in an apartment on the 11th floor! why are the insects so attracted to my room?!
just yesterday...a house gecko crawled under my bed...
i went to sleep in another room!

[AweOfShe]

they'll also lay eggs in your stomache...

nooooo, stop!! D:

[NorseFTX]

XD
I've heard about that weird myth where people swallow an average of 4 spiders in their sleep every year. I don't think it's actually true, though.

Spiders kind of creep me out. The really small ones are okay, but the larger ones make me uneasy about being in the same room, and even looking at pictures the giant hairy ones makes me feel queasy. Blegh, eight hairy legs are too many...XP

[Gintoki]

Yeah...I'm sure its way more! :p

That's scary..... O.O

[AweOfShe]

Yeah...I'm sure its way more! :p

Well, since that is successfully keeping me from sleeping, I'm just going to stay up and watch TV all night. :P

[Gintoki]

Well, at least you aren't sick? I tried taking some Nyquil, but eww, I couldn't keep it down cause it tastes so bad.

[Suou]

That's scary..... O.O

more like annoying.
well...the bees are a little scary. Wasps too(now THATS SCARY) tend to fly into my room once every 1-2 months.

[Chaosblade]

I think I don't like bugs in general. I have a paranoia that they will crawl into my nose, ears, or mouth, while I'm sleeping. >_<

Is this a good time to mention that the average person swallows 8 spiders in their sleep each year?

That's actually just an urban(/Internet) legend

[Shoot that Way]

If something crawls in your ear. You'll probably know it. Your inner ear canal is sensitive to things. So if something's in there you might feel pain.

[Suou]

that reminds me of that time i went to camp...and some idiot picked the tent near the lights...and our tent had a tiny hole in it.
i literally slept with bugs flying around in my tent that night. i wonder how many i swallowed D:

Don't worry about it. Insects tend to be nutritious and can contain high protein depending on size. :p
So if you're ever hungry and stranded in the middle of nowhere, it's a safe to bet you can eat that insect crawling up your leg. :D
Even spiders are safe to eat, unless they're poisonous. But most aren't.

It's probably better to have them cooked. Yum yum. :D

[Ivy]

I don't mind them unless they're poisonous.

[Blue Star Princess]

O____O
really?

[Ivy]

I wouldn't think spiders are immune to stomach acid.

[ojsinnerz]

I'm pretty bad with bugs to begin with, and I'm almost scared death from looking at tarantulas. I haven't dealt with any large spiders in my life, so I'm still alive.

The only thing that scares me more are those centipedes. Look at all those legs. *Shudder*

[PringlesXD]

This thread is not a happy thread, just sayin'.

[Chaosblade]

I wouldn't think spiders are immune to stomach acid.

Pretty much anything alive wouldn't be alive long in the case you did accidentally swallow it.

Except roaches, because they're immune to more or less everything. <span style="color:#000000; background-color:#000000;">:trollface</span>

Well, most people don't like bugs at least this isn't a thread about our greatest fear or the people we don't like that would be sad at least for me.

[Blue Star Princess]

I only made the topic cause I saw one in my apartment. xD
Though I also hate Centipedes! O___O

[Chaosblade]

Couldn't find the picture I wanted to post (the one about the spider killing the wasp). Anyway, happy thread time.

[LadyNeptune]

Ugh. I HATE spiders. I really do. As long as they stay away from me, I won't hurt them. But if they do come near me, it's squashing time! >=D

[PringlesXD]

They'll spread their poison around your shoe, and when you lick it.. HAHAHA!

[LadyNeptune]

They'll spread their poison around your shoe, and when you lick it.. HAHAHA!

Why on Earth would I ever want to lick my shoe?

[PringlesXD]

I dunno, maybe you hit your head.

[Blue Star Princess]

Or took a bet. :P

[Raguna]

Or someone forced you.

[PringlesXD]

Why would you let someone force you to... lol, nevermind! ;)

[Shoot that Way]

Lol, what's going on? Why we talking about licking shoes now?
Well, if you don't want spiders anywhere in your home, try to keep other insects and bugs from entering your home. It'll reduce the amount of spiders, since they can detect where other insects and bugs are. Also, they'll have nothing to eat and will die before they can spawn spider babies.

Only spiders I probably be afraid of are aggressive poisonous ones. Would be terrible to be bitten by those without knowing they're living with you.

[PringlesXD]

I'll just kill them ALL!

[Shoot that Way]

If you get bitten while killing them all, make sure you identify the one that bit you. :D

[PringlesXD]

... Don't scare me.

[Dusty Starr]

Oh, I really do not like spiders. :( I try to ignore them, or if it is one that I know is not poisonous, I try to release it outside, but I just do not like them around me. However, even with dangerous ones, I feel so guilty squishing them, to where I usually do not want to. :(

Anyways, the bug I am most scared of is... crane flies. :( Horrible. Terrifying. Keep them the heck away from me!

[Shoot that Way]

Crane flies don't do anything, they feed on nectar.

Human Botflies. Omg...never want one anywhere near me. Or even want to be near one. They are the WORSE insects in the world!
They lay eggs in mammals. So their larvas are parasite inside mammals. We are on their list of mammals.

Think about it. Having something crawling around under your skin until it turns into a fly.(Then it crawls out of you)

[kknd]

speaking of botflies

I never knew those things eat human brains too... ewww...

[sanddeamon]

well,spiders at my area, as far as i know, I'm not worried of.. but roaches and mosquitos vex me greatly ..we have a natural source of seek and destroy method though, a cat :)

[Dusty Starr]

I do not care what crane flies do or do not do, they are just freaking evil, unnatural, and need to stay the hell away from me. :(

[reyvard]

why don't you go for your vacation in africa or amazonia ? because there are flies and ants there ...

Great, now i'm scarred for life....

[conurebleu]

ThaT's only one reason why I stay in Quebec...

[Raguna]

Rena from Higurashi had botfly larva in her neck. How nice crawling out of her neck every time she scratched herself in the neck. They were literally thousands and the only thing they did when they went outside was to enter her wound right back up to her bloodstream. Awww the memories:p

[Shoot that Way]

I'll use every spider and toad/frog in the world to kill those human botlies. D:

For ants. I don't really care. I was in Vietnam this summer and was bit by a bunch of ants. The stinging lasted for at least 20 minutes, and it left my skin sensitive for about an hour.
Was also bit by some unknown spider that left my whole arm swelling and aching. But I didn't mind it too much. Though, maybe my apathy at the time was really high, so I didn't really care about any of those events
