    I haven't seen many of those inside my house. Only one once. Needless to say I got rid of it soon as I could. xD

    Main thing I've had to deal with inside this house it spiders. Ugh, the creepy looking ones at that and I hate it. Living with that has kinda made me startled by them. Even though I didn't used to have that fear of them. It just kinda developed.

    I definitely don't have arachnophobia like some people I know. I remember at work there was a spider dangling down from the ceiling and the administrative assistant was absolutely terrified by it. It was practically silly to me. xD

    I mean if it was a black widow or a brown recluse, sure, you don't want to get bitten by those, but this was just an everyday bitty little spider.

    It depends on the situation here. It's mostly a lot of the smaller ones here that like to jump around. Those tend to get me.......a little. xD

    I mean in the worst cases like black widows and brown recluse spiders, you could use something like a fly swatter to take them out from a safe distance. Sometimes we get crickets in the basement and that's a pretty effective way to take them out because they jump like crazy if you get close (so grabbing them with a paper towel isn't nearly as effective).

    Only drawback is cleaning up the mess. It can get a bit gross. xD

    I personally can't really tell a difference. So my mind always jumps to the worst if they just look creepy in general. xD

    I definitely get a bit jumpy around spiders but I also learned that when you're a girl, 90% of the folks you're going to be living with are ALSO afraid of every insect that comes in the house. So I have become the assigned bug catcher haha. I just get them with a cup while screaming or making noises.

    Only bugs I won't do are wasps.

    A while ago I had two spiders living behind the sink. I was really sad when they died. And speaking of black widows, me and my brother used to catch those and keep them as pets. xD I am also the designated bug catcher. Especially with scorpions.

    Yeah, my sister used to catch bumblebees and pet them without any fear of them whatsoever.

    And dang, black widows as pets? You're brave, I just have white fluffy bunnies as my pets. xD

    I love bees! I still rescue them from my grandparents' pool when I'm there.

    Yep! Also mantises (though those aren't dangerous to humans). I do have dog and cats though. XD

    My dad caught a black widow once when I was a kid. I still remember I used to love picking it up and just looking at it. Probably couldn't now. xD
