When I was around 8 years old I watched an episode of Alfred Hitchcock in black and white on TV. A man was tied up and they showed rats crawling all over him and they were going to eat him. It messed me up and to this day rats are the only creature that really creeps me out.
None. I see the beauty in all things -- even rocks. If any creature approaches me, I simply remove it to a different location.
When I see a spider in the bathtub .. (oh yes, the window is open without a screen, to the garden, so they gain access) I take a dish towel and pick it up gentle, so not to hurt, take it outside and bid it farewell ..I can't kill ! My father always said: ' If you like to live, so do other creatures, don't kill"

Hahahahhaha
If I had to pick one, I'd have to say botflies. While interesting, they're creepy as hell. The larvae are parasitic to mammals, including one species that is known to infest humans. They burrow into the skin where they grow, eventually emerge, and drop off ready to pupate (which they do in soil.)
Bats scare the crap out of me-not wild about rodents either. My daughter had pet rats.
Spiders. No contest.
I just found this little guy riding in the work truck, he’s in a bush now
@NothinnXpreVails jumping spiders are so adorable!
Roaches, but just the German ones. Madagascar riachs are cool. I love spiders, snakes and have had pet rats
I hate roaches. I'm not scared of them, I just think they are gross.
Funny, there are no cockroaches in Germany, never seen one there, yet you have German ones here ? Amazing!
@gemini31 weird, hundred. I wonder why they call them that?

Excellent .. why did I not think of this !
Snakes only because I was bitten by a rattlesnake when I was three and I can't remember much about being three, but I remember that day very well. I saw the rattlesnake while playing in my backyard and I decided it would be fun to pick it up. Not a good move at all.
It left you with a 'phobia' understandable !
Spiders, especially tarantulas. When I was a boy there was an abandoned house behind mine. It came down because new construction was going to start. It was FULL of tarantulas and they spread as they had no home. We lived in Puerto Rico and the weather is always hot but we had to keep the windows shut or they would come in the house. The situation lasted about 2-3 years and nature took care of them. Some were huge, like a tambourine. The females are much bigger than the males. I have horror stories on insects and arthropods. They had huge fangs
Wow, although they are harmless actually, would still give one the creeps. I had an encounter with a Scorpion .. a relative small one. Walked my German Shepherd and she suddenly stopped with her nose to the ground. The Scorpion was ready to attack he .. so I pulled her away and the the 'beast' came at me. I walked away and it followed me .. it was a bit unnerving, so I took a stick and kept moving it back .. boy was that thing mad. I ended up grabbing the leach and ran away ....but living in Georgia was hell as they must be the insect and roach haven of the world. They were as large as my thumb. It's funny, I can pick up June bugs and love the beautiful green glittering beetles . but these 'tanks' were unholy.

Religious nut cases. Watch out for the God Virus, Ive seen too many fall for this trap.
I have a born again brother. I know how that works. Fortunately he got tired of trying to convert me and we get along very well. We speak on the phone every week.
Japenese Giant Crabs... they are alien as fuck.
None of them....am fascinated by how animals (including humans) behave.

Rather than seeing that as limiting, I see it as an affirmation that we need to keep exploring and learning.
The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents
