What are you afraid of that you shouldn't be?

I'm afraid of most bugs. The exceptions are harmless-but-common bugs like ants, and even bees, most of the time. Large crickets, cicadae, beetles, cockroaches, etc scare me pretty well. I don't know what it is, but they are frightening. I've never really understoof this fear, I've looked at them and concluded that in a fight with a roach, I would win. Most of these bugs can't harm me, yet I am terrified of bugs.

I remember I had some kind of cricket or other noise-making bug in my room, somewhere behind the curtains. It stayed there for days, usually silent. Every few hours it would suddenly make a loud clicking noise, twice in a row. Each time I would cringe in fear of it. I was too afraid to actually go and face it; I let it stay there for several days until it flew out. There I was at my computer, and all of a sudden I see a strange shadow against the wall. I didn't even turn around; I just ducked and ran out of the room. I actually had to get my father to go catch the thing in a jar.

Thing probably wasn't even carnivorous.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

No offense, Eleo - especially coming from someone who's afraid of goldfish for cripes's sake... I'm just sayin'.

Some crickets get huge. Same with beetles. And their long antennae freak me out.

I mean, of which bugs should I be afraid?

There's nowhere I can't reach.
