If a bug gets on me, I usually use a piece of paper or somthing to redirect it back to the ground and away from me! I have this thing about not killing bugs if I can help it. ^^' If its a mosquito or something flying, I'll just brush it off. Bees, however, I WILL freak out a little bit. I found out that you can usually blow bees away without getting stung or anything though. The little bee will be all like, "GAH! Big gust of wind! Fly away!"

It depends what kind of bug
a spider (except for a daddy-longlegs) I freak out. But it's strictly because they can make webs and I hate webs!
ladybug, lightningbug (those type) I let them crawl around and I may even jar them
mosquito: I hit them! But sometimes I go into mosquito shock and I just stare at it, with it's needle in my skin, pumping out the blood and inserting it's saliva, making an itchy swollen patch.

Depends on the bug~

If it's just a small bug, such as a regular house fly or a gnat or mosquito, the most I'll probably do is just swat it away. Larger bugs usually elicit a single yelp from me, and then a sudden frenzy to shake them off, especially if they startle me by making noise (had that happen once, a bug landed on my shoulder and I didn't realize it was there until it buzzed in my ear. Startled me quite a bit, it did). Same thing applies to things like spiders - while I don't mind seeing spiders, I'd rather they stay as far away as possible - and ants...since we get fire ants around here, which you do not want to let stay on you.

Haha. Funny question. I kill the friggin thing by any means possible. Fly swatter, rolled up piece of paper, tissue, shoe, whatever might be handy at the moment. I never kill fireflies though because they pwn every other insect. XD

Why does everyone wants to kill the bug O_0...
I usually just pick it up and then place it somewhere else :3
Unless..It's a wasp, of a fat house fly that makes noise... Then I'll hunt after it with my electric fly swapper.
Quite fun , you know :3

Depends on the bug...if it's a friendly bug like a ladybug, butterfly, or firefly, then I just let it crawl and/or attempt to catch it.

if it's a not-so-friendly bug, I'll attempt to squish it, or get somebody to squish it.

If any kind of bug lands on me I redirect it to my finger, then let it crawl around until it gets bored.

If it's an ant (or anything that's of that size), I'll try to blow it away.

But anything larger... I freak out.

Major freak out points if it has BIG wings. (Like butterflies.... and moths....)

I'd smack it, and then feed the smushed bug to my cat. She LOVES eating spiders and grasshoppers...

But if it was my sister...she would practically EXPLODE! She'd start crying and running around in circles, screaming. Wimp. Only if it was poisonous I'd get scared, because, hey, it's poisonous...must I explain?

If it's a spider, I'll twitch, and then smack it off me, mainly because it has more than six legs. Any other bug I'll just smack without a second thought, unless its a ladybug, a butterfly, or a firefly (mainly because I try to make them land on me on purpose). I know, I'm biased, not smushing pretty bugs, but still...

But if I feel like it, I guide them off my body and let it free.

I tend to jump pretty bad. I don't like creepy crawly things very much. I try my best not to kill them, though. Normally, I'll shoo them off my and get a paper towel to hold them in until I can get them outside.

The only time I ever squish a bug is if my sister is freaking out. She hates bugs. And, if there's a moth in her room, I have no choice but to kill it.

Not all bugs are bad, though. Sometimes, I'll sit outside and just wait for a butterfly to perch on me.

Who's that returning from the depths of forum ghosts past? Oh! It's me!
