Your least favourite creatures

“All things bright and beautiful all creatures great and small...”

Blossoming, a phobia is a phobia. Saying that gerbils are lovely doesn’t help.
I could say I love spiders and moths but that wouldn’t help those who don’t like them.
We’ll have to agree to disagree.

Are we allowed politicians? ?

Spiders are top of the list and those leggy flying ones - Daddy longlegs. Don't like slugs either but quite like snails if they are not in my garden! Worms are good for the soil so I don't mind those. I could happily live without wasps, knats, clothes moths, head lice and bed bugs (although I've never seen any).

Some humans !

Rats and mice, it’s the long tail and bony little back, yuk, gives me the heebie geebies just thinking about them.
No idea how to spell heebie geebies but geebies auto corrected to gerbils, another bony backed little creature I dislike.

Wasps. I have an allergy.

Spiders. Can’t help it, they are horrible and run at me.
I’m not keen on aggressive shouty people either!

It’s slugs and snails with me too and I am another who can’t even look at a picture of them. Rats too and, Jaxjacky, also the m word. Sickening but I rarely come across them. Spiders I love but they scare my Australian DiL and no wonder.

nanna8 my first trip to Australia cured my fear of spiders.?

I cannot abide Cockroach’s it’s not just a fear but bordering on a phobia.?

I do not like maggots but will deal with them if they appear in the bin over the summer months.?

As for slugs, they are just homeless snails ?

Love snakes admire rats, love frogs and toads but totally agree about slugs and wriggly maggots don’t like earwigs but can’t say I ve seen any for a long time

Don’t hate frogs, libra10. Sometimes they turn into princes.

I positively like spiders, unless they are poisonous. Interesting creatures. I don’t see the problem with moths. Some of them are beautiful.

Slugs - nobody could love a slug, poor things. They can’t help being the way they are.

What’s a slater? Is it the same as a woodlouse? I don’t really mind them.

All creatures are interesting in some way, it’s just that we prefer furry ones to slimy ones.

Slugs and snails. I know we need them both but not in my small garden!

OOOh i forgot about cockroaches Witzend.
I saw a massive one on the stairs at the swimming baths some time ago in Sutton Coldfield West Mid`s.
Didn`t realise i could run so fast.

Like Witzend, it has to be cockroaches. They were the bane of our lives in the Far East. Huge! We once hired car to drive to a remote beach in Malaya for a day out, and as soon as we put the air con on, two came up through the air vents behind where I was sitting in the back. Brakes were slammed on so that I could leap out and scream a lot? while DH tried to evict them! Never seen any since thank goodness.

Frogs! i hate the evil-eyed, leapy little creatures!

Cockroaches. Not that I’ve ever seen them in the U.K.* but we always had whoppers when living abroad - never managed to get rid of them.

*Though when I was working as cabin crew one did once hitch a lift from West Africa to the U.K. in my uniform handbag! ?

Hate spiders/moths/slugs/mice/rats/maggots/and covid.

Can't abide snakes, can't even look at pictures of them although I've managed to cope when meeting them in the wild.

I dislike, to a greater or lesser extent, anything longish that wriggles.

Jaxjacky` I can't look at m*gg**s. Turns my stomach thinking of them.

Horseflies. Ticks, Slugs, Moths

Oh and m*gg**s, can’t even type it...the worst.

Slugs here too and moths, I’m convinced they fly at me, butterflies don’t.

Spiders and ants, earwigs and slaters - yeuch!
