Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:
They are just the right size to infiltrate your body, they arent too small, an ant is harmless, a dog!? harmless, but a black widow, centipede, cockroach or anything along those lines are just right inbetween the margin and that scares us!. An elephant being afraid of a mouse seems silly to us but it is the same thing as being afraid of a cockroach or spider!.!.!.PS the guy above me shouldn't rip the mantis, they are not very creepy and are one of few insects that help your garden!.!.!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Darn, I sure wish she hadn't been the first with that answer, "they're yucky!"--Don't know how I could ever hope to top that, but I'll try!. Bugs are creepy, crawly, strange looking things!. They're like mini aliens, nothing human seeming or normal about them!. They just creep along, emotionless!. What's the creepiest, in my opinion, but also one of the most interesting!?--The praying mantis!. It is practically the 'superman' of all bugs!. It's powerful jaws can rip to shreads just about every other living bug in existence!. And it is such a voracious, non-stop eater that the female actually chews the male's head off right while he's in the act of 'gettin busy' with her!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

for me, i think it's because the're so small, even the big ones, and i just imagine them crawling all over me or that they could be in my room and idk where they are!. lol im getting freaked out just writing about it!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

they are virtually an alien species!. they're frankly horrible!. and the only reason we tolerate them is because they're so goddamn small!.

try this!. put a rhinoceros beetle on your arm and let it walk up your arm to your face!. Still having fun!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

They are so ugly, and they trot all over you fridge, your bench, your food, just when you don't want them to!. And when you spray, they still come back!. That's just the way life is!Www@QuestionHome@Com

I know that with spiders, "Arachnaphobia" is common!. theres no reason for the fear, it just exists in some persons!. As far as other bugs i'm afraid I can't help you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
