Top Ten Insects and Arachnids That Scare Most People

The Top Ten
1 Bees

Bees are cute :) the hornets and wasps are dangerous and scary!
bees is 2 and wasp and scorpion is 4 and 5?
i don't understand why people scare bees

I have a small case of Entomophobia, which means I'm afraid of any creepy insect like wasps and spiders.

Bumblebees are adorable.
If you are scared of bees, then be grateful Asian hornets live in your yard...

I'm pretty scared of these, but only because I'm allergic to them.

2 Spiders

If I unexpectedly see one I get scared. But at the same time, they fascinate me.

Arachnophobia is very, VERY common. Because spiders are creepy.

Whenever someone says they see a spider near me a panic.

3 Wasps

Just like bees, but worse!

They WILL sing you

4 Cockroaches Cockroaches (or roaches) are a paraphyletic group of insects belonging to Blattodea, containing all members of the group except termites. About 30 cockroach species out of 4,600 are associated with human habitats. Some species are well-known as pests. ...read more.

I hate roaches. They creep me out and are disgusting. Just moved into a new apartment and I see at least one a day. Ugh!

I'm glad that there is no photo of roaches.

5 Scorpion

I am so scared of them

6 Tarantulas Tarantulas comprise a group of large and often hairy arachnids belonging to the Theraphosidae family of spiders, of which approximately 900 species have been identified.

As creepy as most spiders may be, I don't mind them. I touched a tarantula when I was in 6th grade at 6th grade camp one time.

Our class had a pet tarantula in Grade 2. I hated it.

They should definitely at least be in the top 3!

I have a pet Tarantula!

7 Stink Bug

Pine beetle stink bugs too.

8 Ants Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera.

Ants are only scary to me because I'm allergic to them

9 Beetles
10 Giant Grasshoppers

They creep me out actually.

The Contenders
11 Worms
12 Cave Crickets
13 Flies

Flies are more gross and annoying rather then scary

I say flies are just as bad as cockroaches.

14 Mosquitoes Spanish for "small fly," mosquitoes are insects that have been known to cause various diseases. A sample of diseases caused by mosquitoes: malaria, yellow fever, Chikungunya, West Nile virus, dengue fever, filariasis, Zika virus.

These little pricks ( pun intended) are everywhere! And they buzz in your ear too! Thank god the East Coast doesn't have a mosquito problem ( well... The northeast... )

Here, they're not as scary as they are annoying.

They are also the deadliest

15 Moth Moths comprise a group of insects related to butterflies, belonging to the order Lepidoptera. Most lepidopterans are moths; and there are thought to be approximately 160,000 species of moth, many of which are yet to be described.
16 Hornet Hornets are the largest of the eusocial wasps, and are similar in appearance to their close relatives yellowjackets. Some species can reach up to 5.5 cm in length.
17 Ticks
18 Black Widow
19 Centipede Centipedes are arthropods belonging to the class Chilopoda of the subphylum Myriapoda. They are mainly carnivorous and they prey upon insects, spiders, small birds and rodents, and even other centipedes.
20 Maggots
21 Praying Mantis The praying mantis is an insect known for its distinctive posture of holding its front legs in a manner that resembles a prayer. It belongs to the Mantidae family and is characterized by its elongated body, triangular head, and large compound eyes. Praying mantises are skilled predators, often waiting patiently for their prey to come within striking distance. They possess specialized front legs that are equipped with spines and sharp hooks to grasp and hold onto their prey securely. Praying mantises primarily feed on insects and occasionally small vertebrates. Their exceptional camouflage helps them blend into their surroundings, making them effective ambush predators.
