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.

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.

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

Homo Sapiens

True !

Humans. Capable of remarkable acts of goodness but also horrifying evil.

Cockroaches really creep me out

I made a post on FB about a 300 million year old extinct 7.8 ft long centepede. No thanks on bugs like that.

It a dying breed .. hope soon !

Roaches. I am a rational, logical person, yet roaches can make me lose my composure in a second. I think it's the idea that if you see one, you imagine thousands and they move so damned fast!

The mind- It plays tricks on you all the time.
Whne you think is safe to go into the water it creeps you out again

People who watch garbage shows like the cardashians and think they are awesome frighten me.

2

Nothing really does. I have a healthy respect for animals and insects that could bite me/cause disease or a reaction etc. but nothing really creeps me out.

Snakes, why does it have to be snakes!

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.

scorpion

Oh yes !

Humans
No other creature has devised so many ways to kill or takes such pleasure in it.
No other creature has bent nature for profit at the expense of its fellow species and all other species.
No other creature hunts, kills, rapes, and mutilates for the sheer rush of pleasure it gets from it.
No other creature has serial killers, mass murderers, spree killers, Despotic Rulers and industrialized murder.

ALL other creatures pale in comparison.
Even in your example it was a human who was using rats as a weapon, yet you fear the rat. Go figure.

But...does that mean you're scared of yourself?

@FinchiMcQ Am I suicidal?
No.

But the reality is outside of disease or accident you are much more likely to die by human hands than from a Bear, Shark or Rats.

Oh, ye great force in the sky .. words so well spoken and so profoundly true. I think that you and I could elaborate on this for hours ..

@Davesnothere that is a scary thought and just maybe true!

1

Women !!! The most devious creatures on earth, frighten the hell out of me. ( just joking ). Nothing actually, just very careful of some.

No no...it's true.
The soul of a woman was created below..
Those blues singers had it right!?

?????

@FinchiMcQ I believe that's Led Zeppelin, isn't it?

Wouldn't know, age and wisdom speaking

Chicken you are !

Yeah, but I love them anyway. Hee hee

2

Snakes...even though rationally I know they are more afraid of me than I am of them...

They're delicious deep-fried tho..

What? You give me the creeps ..

2

Slugs...huge nasty slugs. I don't know why but these little buggards creep me out.

Put salt on them, but don't eat them.

No. don't ill them ..

Spiders, dude. That is what shoes were invented for. Crush them out of existence.

I'll help you

Be careful stepping on spiders. My sister smashed one once and a thousand baby spiders exploded onto and around her foot. The stuff of nightmares.

That is sad ..

@FinchiMcQ Excellent. My ex and I developed a code. It involved saying in a certain tone "come over here" - which was code for the fact there was a big assed huntsman spider on the wall behind the other one. And then the shoe would come out...

@Redbud A neighbour once splatted a big huntsman spider with a shoe; she misjudged the blow and it exploded in her face. She never really got past that...

Bugs!

None really - if i had to choose though i would say i would not fancy a water fight with a saltwater crocodile!

2

I would usually say snakes. But right now I am recovering from a spider bite last Thursday. Pretty sure....didn't see it. Big knot on wrist. Left arm swollen. Getting better. Swelling going down. Will start wearing gloves when getting careless. LOL

Praying Mantis. Stink bugs. June bugs. I don't mind ladybugs, flies, and grasshoppers, and I can handle the occasional spider, but most other bugs really make my skin crawl.

I came home one day to find a katydid perched on top of a lamp shade, and I was paralyzed. My mind raced to think of someone I could call to help me. When I finally got the courage to approach it and suck it up into a vacuum cleaner, I thought it was the bravest thing I'd ever done. 😀

All bugs must die.
Even those smug butterflies..
Flying around thinking their gods gift..
Kill them all!!

(Got carried away....sorry)

@FinchiMcQ that hurt deeply...I want all creatures around...just not ON me!
