The World’s Scariest Bugs #BugOut
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of The Orkin Ecologist for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.
Bugs are something that creep most people out and I am no exception to that! It doesn’t matter what kind of bug it is…I just don’t like them! From the tiniest bugs like lady bugs…to huge cockroaches, they all give me the chills. Frankly, when I see a bug I feel sick to my stomach and want to run the other way.
With that said, there are people in this world who love studying bugs! That’s right, there are actually people who love looking at bugs and learning all of their good and bad habits. For example, did you all know that the Orkin company actually employs scientists to study bugs? They study them to learn more about them and how we as people can deal with bugs on a daily basis.
Over on the Orkin Ecologist web site they have an article up right now listing out the world’s scariest bugs and when I read over that list…I said…That’s Me…they all creep me out! Spiders seem to be the #1 contenders for the scariest bugs but also making the list are bullet ants, army ants, human botfly, bird-eating spider, black widow spider, giant Japanese hornet and others. Ewwww…disgusting!
The top bugs that creep me out the most happen to be: spiders, mosquitos, cock roaches, ants and any type of bee. I am deathly allergic to bees so I avoid them like the plague! I once saw a cock roach up in a New York City hotel that was at least 4″ in length…no kidding! We were outta that room in a hurry and switched to a new room as I was NOT going to sleep in a room that had a cock roach in it. blah!
What kind of bugs scare you? Which bug is the bug that you are most afraid of? For those of you who are afraid of bugs, how do you handle your fear? When did you first develop your fear of bugs? I would love to hear about the things that creep you out and disgust you! Tell me!!!
The Orkin Ecologist web site is a great site for those of you who want to learn more about bugs! It’s a nice resource for children to learn more about bugs too! Right now they are featuring their “Bug of the Month” which happens to be the Goliath Bird-Eating Spider. Oh my gosh, that is one UGLY looking spider that I hope I never have the pleasure of meeting.
