What is the one creature, snake, spider, rodent, bat, etc, that creeps you out the most?

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.

Humans but in particular, politicians and clergeymen.women.

Why did you put us in there with the 'altered consciousness', people? We get our's naturally from nature...like you do.

Snakes, why does it have to be snakes!

True !

On an aesthetic level, scorpions are the lowest of the low. I mean really. Pincers and a stinger? That's the very incarnation of paranoia. Solifuges are a close second. That's only because they lack the stinger.

My worst experience .. SCORPION

Actually, as long as I don't have to physically interact with them, they are all good. Even the Man of War, which I fear beacause one burnt me once while swimming, is beautiful to look at.

A Sting Ray got me lone time in Baja California .. should have known better.

Crickets. They are roaches that can almost teleport. It broke my heart when my mind attempted to reconcile my love for Jiminy with his cricketness.

Never thought of this .. I love listening to them ..

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.

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.

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 !

Excellent .. why did I not think of this !

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"

ticks

Ticks suck, I have to check my body daily for them after work :/

I'm the "creepy creature lady" a the local nature center; I go in on the weekends and teach about snakes,bats,frogs,turtles,and tarantulas - obviously none of those give me the creeps. The nature center just put 2 scorpions out on display, that's where I draw my line!!!
I'm sure, after I do some research on them I probably won't be so frightened of them anymore, but I was told the 2 on display are for "looking at only: they're aggressive & they STING!" - so at least I won't have to overcome my fear so quickly; I'm not going to have to hold them/demo them for the public whew!

I have been known to share my apartment with Huntsman Spiders, they get very large, are harmless, and you can often encourage them on to your hand and out the door! Like any spider, if it rears up it can bite, which is not as bad as a bee sting, however they seem to realize if the bite they could get squashed! (they don't seem to realize they are pretty safe if they do, you would have to repaint the wall! Once outside they are fascinating to watch, as they immediately try to hide from birds, they would make a nice meal for a Magpie or a Kookaburra!

I can handle all of the above. What creeps me out most are octopus and squid. Just thinking about those tentacles freak me out.

Hymenoptera. That's all stinging insects plus ants. They freak me the hell out. I've been known to run and scream.

Roaches

I don’t get creeped out. The animal kingdom is full of evolutionary masterpieces.
