2. There's nothing to fear, but fear itself...

And spiders.
Fuck spiders.

[shenmue]

4. I hate spiders

[MerryBlooms]

5. I can appreciate their beauty and function from afar...

but once they encroach on my space, they are fair game for a shoe or cat- mostly cat. We have two indoor cats (Manx and Meezer), and there's not much bug-wise that survives in our house more than a few hours.

6. A spider in a basement window well, where it eats other bugs

will go unmolested by me.

A spider in the bathroom or bedroom is gonna get hit with the million-pound shithammer by me.

If it's a centipede - not a millipede, they don't gross me out - then the HEAVY artillery comes out. Ugh.

3. I would have thought bed bugs were the least loved

7. Have you ever had a scorpion

crawl on your bed in the middle of the night?

8. Those are some of my most favorite critters, actually.

Especially the bats and spiders.

10. I was bitten once by a brown recluse spider

Toads and frogs are cool.

[Enthusiast]

12. OMG! This is horrible!

Their bite does terrible damage.

[Dont call me Shirley]

13. I caught it within 12 hrs and was immediately put on antibiotics. No black hole.

[Enthusiast]

14. Wow! Ya done good!

[Dont call me Shirley]

15. Thank you, Enthusiast. Very lucky it was in a visible spot.

11. I have no problem with snakes.

For a few years, I had two pet boa constrictors. They are fascinating pets. They don't bark, bite or shit on the carpet.

16. It's the "least loved critters that should be more loved"

If it was the "least loved critters that should be even more detested," then rats, candiru, bobbit worms and Republicans would definitely be on the list.
