I don't mind insects most of the time. I do beekeeping and love spiders.
But there are two bugs that scare me: roaches and centipedes (millipedes are cute though).
We had roaches a few times when I was a kid and it just scared me for life. They're fucking everywhere, they're noisy, and you can always see one in the corner of your eyes. fuck roaches.
Made the mistake of thinking I could spray one of the big Florida ones, coming from a place where I was used to the German cockroach. He did not die. He was however very pissed and tried to get me through the door I managed to shut in time.
The closest I've ever come to "fear" of an insect was the day I discovered "Tarantula Hawks". Imagine a giant purple, orange-winged wasp dragging a very large tarantula across the ground; like Tony Soprano disposing of a body. Whose only reaction, upon noticing my startled gaze, was to continue dragging it's victim, completely unphased, while looking at me like, "What? You want to take a picture or something?"
Yes, but a size 13 is only a 1-2 person packed like a tuna can type deal. Really you want to find someone else with 15s for a more comfortable make shift shelter.

Wrong. I'm not brave in either scenario.

I don't understand people that believe they can just spray bugs.
It's either direct physical violence or you could as well do nothing. Bring a bat.

You fly until a size 13 boot renders you into a fine paste.

Size 13?
Do your shoes work as a tent for smaller folks?
