so it's finally warm and any bugs that were hibernating have woken up and i am now being stalked by a fly as the only warm being in the apt. um...i'm running away now.

You need to talk to nikita31j7 about bugs...you have a common attitude towards them. I spent the day spring-cleaning the garage and met all kinds of spiders, woodlice and earwigs.

*small voice* ...earwigs? omg! they're almost as bad as silverfish. ew ew ew

Had to look up earwigs and silverfish, since I've never encountered either up close and personal. Naturally, screen froze on a giant picture of an earwig, so I had to turn off the monitor till it was safe again. According to Wiki, the house centipedes I sometimes encounter actually eat earwigs, but I still have no inclination to let one wander around my house. *shivers in disgust*

Bugs aren't too scary. It's geckos and frogs which I can't stand :eek

I don't mind frogs, or anything reptilian/amphibious. I will, however, go berserk over a moth or any other critter with six or more legs and moveable parts.

there're a good number of bugs i don't mind at all. i saw my first bee of the season and was mightily pleased. i also like ants and ladybugs (but who doesn't like ladybugs) and an assortment of beetles. and butterflies. but moths give me the heebie-jeebies, don't know why.

reptiles and most amphibians don't, ahem, bug me. i'm a big snake fan, i like frogs [from a distance], i find monitor lizard fascinating when viewed from a distance.

oh...migosh! the common house centipede....who in sam hill decided that that thing was common?! i remember the first time i ran into one in the bathroom sink. my solution? close the door until it decided to vacate the premise.
