In fairness, I won't kill ladybugs. In fact, I have a couple of them residing in my kitchen.
Bees = allergic. Spiders = been bit too many times. Mosquitoes = nuff said

Somehow we have a grasshopper in our basement. I FREAK OUT when that thing comes jumping at me - and they always do. They can't just leave me alone, or hide when I go downstairs - noooo, they have to jump toward me. I scream like a girl and make Mare go downstairs to get it. I don't care if She lets it out or kills it - I don't want it lunging at me.

I've never handled bugs well as an adult, which is interesting - because I played with them as a kid. Something traumatic must have happened and I blocked it out. *sigh*

Oh look!!!! A HORNED BEETLE!!!

Heh....
