I freaked the f%ck out last night when I came in from outside and felt something crawling on my neck. I was standing in the kitchen... thought it was a spider and immediately smacked my neck with a force. Luckily it was just one of those damn brown beetles you always see buzzing around the porch light.
For me, this is right up there with walking into a spiders web at night. These things creep me out bigtime.

I was staying at a cut-rate motel in the American Southwest. I was sleeping in bed and I was sure I felt something skittle across my face.The place didn't have bedbugs or roaches but there were the big light brown desert crickets that would chirp and would take a bite out of you too.I slept with a pillow over my head.

One time I woke up in the middle of the night thinking there was this huge asss spider hanging from the cieling and about to land on my head I jumped up as fast as I could and tore up my bedroom looking for this huge spider and never found it.

I'm pretty bad with spiders, and I fully know most of them can't really hurt you. They're too quiet and creepy. And they have fangs, and eight eyes. And they're all poisonous.
I'm glad I don't live in Australia. The spiders over there are like monsters. You ever see those funnel web spiders? Their fangs are like the size of steak knives!

Australia has more
venomous snakes than any other country in the world. It also has the unenviable
distinction of being home to no fewer than 9 of the top 10 most venomous
snakes in the world. Interestingly, it is the only continent with a higher
proportion of venomous snakes to non-venomous ones: out of a total of
nearly 170 species (including more than 30 sea snakes) around 120 of them
are venomous. Some 20 - 25 of these are considered to be highly dangerous
to people, the commonest cause of serious snakebite being the tiger snake

I'd have to say mine was when I was little I got lost in the mall. My mom was nowhere to be found and I was really scared. I tapped this old man on the back and asked him where my mom was, he turned around and started talking but he had a stoma in his throat and he sounded like Darth Vader or something.
Of course I had never seen that before and had no idea what a stoma was so I was really creeped out and never so glad to see my mom.
Creepiest feeling ever though?

Pretty much every insect everyone's discussed in here is a delicacy in 90% of the rest of the world.....
One time in a shopping center near my house,, I brushed up against a tree, got in my car, and felt something tickling my neck. I looked in the rearview mirror, it was a praying mantis. I gently picked him off my neck, and sat him down on the seat next to me. When I got home, I put "nature's exterminator" in my bird of paradise tree in my backyard.....

Praying Mantis are cool! I would never harm those. I do find it wrong that we (I think everyone does) pick and choose which life is sacred, and which isn't. I'll squash a spider without thinking twice, but I would help an injured praying mantis like he's a sad puppy.
Anybody getting these stink bugs in their house?
Damn things came from Asia... and they're nasty!

I did the math once on the amount of Tiger Snake venom it takes to kill a person. It's insane. It might have been the Taipan... not sure. Some of those snakes over there release enough venom in a bite to kill 500 men. I may be exaggerating, but if I am, it's not by much. The toxicity of these animals' venom is off the charts.
Always been a big fan of snakes though. Had a boa constrictor as a kid, and a California King. Beautiful snake. Got a Pueblan Milk right now. Also very beautiful.

Spent 6 days in the hospital after getting bit by a brown recluse. Had a 104.5 temp and blood pressure was 275 over 250. Walking dead i was. Never seen my doctor nervous like that. Rushed me right to the surgeon and he cut me right then and there no putting me out either. I hate all bugs now!
