Me?

Asian Giant Hornet.

One sting and you're dead.

Oh, and did I mention they are as big as your thumb?

3. Roaches!! Yuck! I can't even bring myself to post a pic of one.
That hornet looks pretty scary though.

5. Clock spider, a.k.a. Huntsman spider




Australia has way more than its share of awful creatures, but the Huntsman spider is actually not dangerous to humans, though it is extremely frightening because of its size. It is known for hiding out in the dashboards of cars, then appearing when the car starts up. Legend has it that one woman freaked out so badly when one of them suddenly appeared on her dashboard that she crashed the car and died, even though the spider would not have harmed her.

8. Some can hurt you, depends (I'm told)
Either way, I've heard way too many stories about finding those things in houses and hence I'm staying the fuck outta Australia.

10. OMG, I hate those f*cking things!
I'll occasionally see one in my bathroom, and when I do, it succumbs to a quick death by drowning. They just creep me out! :scared:

11. These guys, american roaches, and mealworms
are really the only bugs that creep me out. Maggots? Nope, I'm cool with them. Spiders? Love 'em! Silverfish are the absolute worst, though, they make my skin crawl. Them and botfly larvae.
