omg! GET IT OFF ME NOW!!!

So, what's your personal opinion about bugs and insects?

  • Do you freak out whenever a bug/insect is in the vicinity or on you?
  • Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
  • Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?


I have a passionate hatred for bugs. Even though they keep the ecosystem in balance, I still despise them. Ugh, they are creepy. In my opinion, the world would do better without some of them.. (Yes, Mr. Mosquito, I'm lookin' at you)

Do you freak out whenever a bug/insect is in the vicinity or on you?
Only if it is on me

Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
If it was harmless, like a housefly, yes. If it was a bee, or the like, no way.

Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
Nope. =P
he did it, not me.

I've had snails as pets before. Tons of them. I've also taken caterpillars, put them in Pringle jars, and watched them evolve into Butterflies. Then I set them free.

I love bugs, but if they get too big, they scare me :s and if they're dangerous, I don't lik'em either.

Anyone read the blog about the two wasps in my room? They're still there. I'm in the living room. In case that's not a big enough hint, I hate bugs. Period.

Do you freak out whenever a bug/insect is in the vicinity or on you?
Yes. In, on, off, whatever. Go away.

Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
Depends on what kind. Roaches will suffer. Bees and wasps...I can't risk getting stung.

Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
HELL NO.

Edit: The wasp just stung my foot!! :(

If it's outside no. I respect the fact that the outside is their domain. When they come inside though all bets are off depending on what kind of bug they are.

Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
Like I said only if their in my house and then it depends on what kind of bug they are.

Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
No not that I remember. The longest time I kept a bug around was maybe an hour and then I let it go.

Yes, if someone shouts 'BUG!', I jump in surprise.

Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
Sometimes, but not all the time. I make sure I stay away from bees.

Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
NO WAY. And, I want it to stay that way.

No. I've had a bee crawl up my shoulder once; nothing so small will hurt you unless it percieves you as a threat.

Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
No, never.

Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
No, they're not generally useful.

I honestly hate bugs. I don't know why, I just do. When one is on me, I want it off immediatly. If there is a bug in my house, I kill it. Sorry, but ya gotta go. xD

Not unless it's huge or it's crawling on me. :P

Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
I often have sadistic fun in the killing of things smaller than me. >:D

Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
Nope...there was an experiment my class did in elementary school where we all had to keep a mealworm alive long enough for it to pupate into a beetle, but I don't think of it as a pet. >_>

The only creepy-crawlies that freak me out are spiders. I hate spiders. I have a normal reaction to everything else.

Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
I have, but I don't anymore. If I'm outside I don't bother and if I'm insider I just open a door to let the flying ones out and use a jar or something for the crawly types and toss them out. I'm extra careful with spiders.

Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
Nope. I don't think they'd make very good pets.

Bugs and I generally don't get along well. Either they're super annoying, like flies, or they scare me, like bees and wasps. However, no matter how bad the bug, I still feel bad if I kill it. I don't know why, they're annoying, but I guess I still feel that they have a right to live or something. It's really weird. :(

I don't keep them as pets, because, well, I don't like them.

I hate bugs with a passion and I've never had one as a pet.

Have you ever noticed that when you see one bug in your room, it feels like they are crawling all over you? Gives me the heeby-jeebies.

With enemies like that, who needs friends?

No way, bugs are awesome
  • Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
That's a horribly mean thing to do.
  • Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
I found this huge spider in my house once and was gonna keep, sadly my mom despised the idea. Another day I brought home a spider I found in my art class. When I showed her she freaked out and made me release him.

Don't know what's wrong with bugs, they're so cute. :3
Spoiler:

Look at this bugger (Tehe) Don't you just wanna hug it?

If i'm with friends or in public and a bug flies near me, I casually move.
If i'm in my backyard alone or something, I run like hell.

I'm a little girl when it comes to bugs.
I hate spiders, wasps, bees, moths, roaches, grasshoppers, anything furry, anything that bites or stings, anything that can chase me.

Slugs are okay :P

I like bugs, although I'm afraid of only two.

Spiders and those little black worm thingies.

However, I find bees and earwigs adorable. XD; Which reminds me, I saw a really cute bee today and it was in a flower and I wanted to take a picture but I just kept on looking at it because it was soooo cute.

And, I wouldn't kill any bugs unless by accident. Ever since that Quail... :(

Spiders aren't bugs, so they don't count :s I had a huge spider in my room earlier, though, and my dog ate it. I love my dog.

I'm only interested to bugs who don't bother my plants, otherwise I'll squish it like that. Especially mealy bugs and aphids and scale insects. I love worms by the way. ;)

Depends on the specific kind. I simply cannot tolerate cockroaches or spiders no matter where they are, but I'm cool with everything else as long as they don't actually get on me. Once stuff starts crawling on me, all bets are off.

Would you kill a bug/insect on sight?
Yes, sometimes compulsively, and always if they actually get on me.

Have you ever kept an bug/insect as a pet in your whole life?
No.

I find bugs to be disgusting and any bug equipped with stingers are hazardous to my health. Needless to say, that ladybug infestation in my dorm room this past winter had me screaming and cursing at the things most every night, and I went through an entire box of tissues just to kill the things.

The only bugs I won't kill are the aforementioned ones with stingers. Facing them, I will beat a hasty retreat.
