I like "A Bug's Life"

And some bugs are very fascinating, some bugs are downright scary (I'm an archniphobe).

We've got the good old "funnel web spider" here in Sydney - and these pretty scary.

As a teenager I had the job of cleaning my parents pool, and in Summer you'd get about 10 of these poisonous suckers falling in the pool and sitting on the bottom. They could live there for 3 to 7 days with air trapped on the hairs on their legs.

I'd fish these guys out and stick them in jars with Metho in to preserve them. Still hasn't cured my phobia.
