When we were seniors in HS, our senior class prank (which was SO not funny!) was to let crickets out ALL over the school... they were running along the crevices of the hallways and they were everywhere. SO nasty. Then to catch the crickets they let out a few mice, then supposedly a snake to catch the mouse... I never saw a snake but luckily when someone tried to dump mice out near us a teacher caught them and immediately scooped them back up! That freaked me out about crickets...
Then like two years ago crickets kept getting into the house- mostly in my bedroom!! I would try to sleep at night and hear them... spent most of two months sleeping on the couch upstairs!!
Grasshoppers are just nasty. Last year I was going to lunch with friends and there was one on my windshield. I made my friend get out and check before I would leave the car... she said it was good so I got out. I turn around to talk to someone and the GRASSHOPPER WAS SITTING ON MY SHOULDER!!! I started screaming and running in circles (this is in the parking garage at the Source!!) then I'd stop, look and start all over again until my friend knocked it off. I had on a green shirt too so they had no idea what I was freaking out about

None, actually. But I am absolutely terrified of rodents If I even see a mouse on the subway lines I freeze and I will have a nightmare about them that night

The brown bug with 6 jointed legs and really long antennas that was on my ceiling last night that I had to swat with the Spiegel catalog. Then it fell in a pile of clothes....It was huge (and stupid) It was flushed..

Oh, this is easy-- waterbugs. It's a city thing, I guess. I had never seen one before on LI. They are huge. My neighbor here told me I might see them sometimes. No matter how clean you keep your house here in South Philly, you get like one a week, sneaking into your kitchen. But they never come out when it's light out! Only at night, when you turn on the kitchen light, you might see one. I refuse to go to the kitchen for a drink of water during the night.. I fill my cup up to the top when I go to bed! A few weeks ago, I killed one for the first time. I was so scared because they crunch. I smashed it with a broom. Even though it was in 425 pieces, the antennae kept moving.

Re: QOTD: What bugs are you deathly afraid of?
Let me just cut to the chase and list the bugs that Im NOT afraid of ladybugs lightning bugs potato bugs
Worst bug I've ever encountered was the flying roach. I was in puerto rico on vacation with my girlfriends. We had just stepped out of the hotel to walk to the casinos and clubs. As were were walking, this HUGE bug just wizzed between us and landed a few feet in front of us. We looked at IT, looked at each other, and turned back around to our hotel room. We were even afraid to go out the next day thinking that the bug was waiting outside the lobby for us!
