Love all insects except: ticks, all kinds of flys, spider crickets (I hate when they jump at me), lice, and mosquitoes.

I was thinking about getting some hissing cockroaches for pets.

I like Damselflies too! Particularly this kind. These look iridescent and stunning IRL.

Ever seen a wasp spider? Ewwwwwww!! !

They do look pretty cool. They eat grasshoppers. I've seen them in a park fairly near me, and those damselflies in another.

I really like ants. When I see them carrying something together or digging it just makes me happy. They're smarter than you think!

And here's a vid of ants eating a whole gecko. I love how they carry away the bones at the end Just because it's cool:

Awww, hopefully the gecko was ok afterwards.

I like mantids best. They are quite popular as exotic pets, especially in Europe. Not quite as popular as tarantulas, but I find those much less interesting.

I am keeping several species at the moment, including the legendary Idolomantis diabolica! Mine are babies currently - this is what the adults look like:

^ That's awesome. Looks like some sort of 80s glam rock star.

I hate being in the same room with cockroaches, flies and mosquitoes...On the other hand, I do love seeing butterflies because they look very friendly.

I like ladybugs, praying mantis, walking sticks, dragonflies, butterflies, lightening bugs, catepillars, and bees but I do not like to get stung.

I do not like spiders, flies, stink bugs, bed bugs, mosquitos, termites, cockroaches, ants, lice, fleas, earwigs, moths, worms, and probably a lot more.

Dear Smudge, How big is that wasp spider? Golden Orb Spiders are big enough to eat birds, you know...Sylkat
