Yeah people eat huge bugs and stuff in other countries..when I was watching this thing once..maybe on the discovery channel and they were eating them and I was like..wow and they eat rats

I step on ants and bugs on purpose sometimes..but then I think..I wouldn't want someone stepping on me like that minding my own business ..but then I step on one more.

I can never understand how people eat that. It might taste okay, but how do you get over the mental block? That's a fricken roach. Or snails.. blegh.

Grrr...I hate ants. They are so annoying, especially if they get inside your kitchen. That happened to me once, and I went on an ant killing spree - I'd capture some in spoons, and dip them in water to see them drown, and others I'd just carefully chop up with dirty knives. I liked making inventive death scenarios for them.

Am I insane?

Nah..I've done that before..I think ..or maybe you are

Ants get in our bathroom, kitchen, or garage sometimes and once I almost drank a can of Moutain Dew with some kind of bug in it..I don't even know what it was but I remember pooring it down the drain for some reason and then there was the bug..ewwie

I find a few of them and I start a small colony. Try to find a queen. Let the males naturalize and then I dump the colony in the park.

I think I've seen small cockroach's around our work occasionally. I've considered just stepping on them, but that would make a mess.

yes, that would be messy--usually when I have to kill insects away from water, I use a napkin and crush them with that; if I succeed, then it will be easy to clean them up

The angle makes it look bigger than it is, yes.

They're big freaking monsters, but they're not as big as dinner plates. That is an exceptional specimen that would be declared "rare". They do not get as big as a human leg in length. Their leg-span goes to the edges of a medium sized dinner plate when full extended. But for the most part, they're only slightly larger than the common tarantulas.

You mess up the qoutes MarioMaster. Every time. omg

Anyway, my mom swears that's what made them look so big. Apparently she's just as scared of them as me. =(((((( But They're obviously bigger then most spiders, you can't really argue that. A whole length of someone's leg? That's huge. Too huge.

When I was younger I wasn't scared of them.... but then I started to study animals. Trust me, when you learn all the things those little bastards can do to you, you become a little frightend.

I hate insects. I have developed some sort of spider sene (No pun intended) for them, and thanks to it I have avoided mosquito stings for years.

Just freaky spiders(namely trapdoor and tarantula types) and ones that drop down via web. For everything else, I just show them the back of my sandal, squish em with a spare thumb and/or tissue, or, when necessary, use Orange Glo. Ah yes, I remember that summer fondly, when my sister and I would often venture into the bathroom(not simultaneously, obviously) only to find a spider or MANY somewhere on the ceiling. We went through that spray bottle and I proceeded to use the bottle of Orange Clean soon after. My worst memory was at like 5 AM 3 years ago when getting ready to go to a peace rally and finding like five on the ceiling. After taking a shower, I acted as if they weren't there only to freak out after seeing all of them descend at the same speed. There was no orange scented cleaning liquid spray bottle to be found. I screamed.

Just spiders, worse if they're big ones. I either find something to squash them like a book or get my kittens to play with it. My kittens lve to play with anything that moves and usually end up killing it.
