Favourite: Moths, butterflies, dragonflies, bees, daddy longlegs

Worst: Spiders

(Edit) I like flies too. Earwigs are OK. Wasps and hornets would be OK if they didn't sting.

Butterflies and dragon flies and even moths don't bother me and I enjoy looking at them. Lady bugs are cute. Praymantis fascinate me to no end. The rest I don't care for at all.

I am extremely fascinated with spiders sometimes. I appreciate them for getting all of the flies in our house too.

I absolutely hate flies though. Cannot stand them. Their buzzing hurts my ears and all they do is bring gross stuff into my house. :eew:

There's very few insects I don't like. Mind you, we don't go in for particularly alarming ones in the UK.

I don't like house flies. Hornets make me move in the other direction quite swiftly. Fleas and ticks aren't great.

I love woodlice, bees, butterflies, moths, mayflies, dragonflies, thrips, crickets, grasshoppers, ladybirds etc. etc.

Bee flies are awesome.

And so are Elephant Hawk Moths.

I love spiders, but they're not insects.

I like ladybirds.

Don't like bedbugs and mosquitoes.

I like dragonflies because they eat mosquitoes.

Walking sticks and lightning bugs. Very cool.

Millipedes and centipedes kind of creep me out. So many legs and so very fast. I want to engineer vehicles with legs like those two.

My favourite: butterflies because they make the world sooo pretty. I also love cute, little grasshoppers.

My worst: although technically not an insect, I am absolutely terrified of spiders. I don't like fruit flies either or biting things like mosquitos and black flies.

I like ladybugs and dragonflies and butterflies, and I like to watch spiders that are OUTSIDE! I do not like cockroaches or flies or fleas or silverfish or earwigs or wasps; bees are fine if they just stay in their hives...Sylkat
