I can handle insects and such if it's one or two but swarms of them freak me out.

I hate ticks even more...

Our apartment complex is full of huge spider webs with huge spiders in them. I almost walked into one this morning when walking around the front of my car to reach the driver's side. A huge web had formed near the poll of the parking garage and extended near my car. I halted and fell onto the hood of my car as I saw this huge spider retracting up the poll! I was inches from walking into its web! I went around to the rear to get to my door. They're everywhere!

I saw a daddy long legs that had to be at least 6-7 inches across a few few days ago on our door. I was going outside to walk our puppy and I saw it and almost dropped poor Clyde. I am terrified of spiders and just bugs in general (exept ants, they are fun to squish), so I really freaked out.

Red Dragon congratulations on almost becoming a senoir member! One time I went to zoo and they, for some reason, had a coakroach exhibit. Even though they were behind glass, they freaked me out and I'm still horrified by the experience. *shudder*

I used to be nervous around spiders until I started working at Renaissance festivals for a living. I knew I'd been living in a tent too long when I woke up in the middle of the night because my hair had flopped in my face. I went to move my hair, and discovered it was actually a huge spider crawling across my face. I said, "Oh spider" and went back to sleep.

My son, however, HATES spiders and likes quoting Ron Weasley from the HP movies when he sees them "Why couldn't it be follow the butterflies?"

Cockroaches still freak me out though. Everybody knows this and my HP geekinees, so 3 people gave me candy cockroaches for Christmas this year. At least those cockroaches don't hiss!

Spiders are not insects

I can handle insects and such if it's one or two but swarms of them freak me out.

Spiders are not insects, they are arachnids. Insects have six legs and three main body parts. Spiders, scorpions and other arachnids have eight legs and two main body parts.
