Praying Matnises have always been a little scary to me. After reading this article and seeing the pictures, now I find the insects to be absolutely terrifying!

I hate all bugs equally. If it can crawl near me, I hate it. If it can dangle from a web near me or towards me, I hate it. And if it can fly at me, I fucking HATE IT!!!!!

Spiders do no deliberate harm to humans, and kill all sorts of nasty insects (mosquitos, flys, etc).

I do like insects and spiders, (had a pet tarantella for 12 years) but I agree that bigger bugs would be scary, they are not like us...at all.

Ah wish I were a mad scientist...I would make spiders the size of terriers and give them wings too.

Never realized a bug could be that lethal.

Can't stand spiders. As for the argument of keeping them around because they take care of other bugs... well... a rolled up magazine and can of bug spray have killed more bugs than any spider anywhere.
