spiders, centipedes, wasps, other six-legged creatures, and other six-legges flying creatures because they are just creepy. Spiders most of all because...just because.

Wasps because... well... they're not creepy, but I am scared of them with the same style a hunter reacts to a giant bear behind him. I'm not scared of spiders, because they're so hairy, and that reminds me of a small and harmless mammal, like a squirrel. The only insect that has managed to bite, sting or digest me is a regular ant, and even that only once in my life. Other beasts don't need to sting me - I scare the hell out of myself just with an approach. Oh and by the way. I'm not scared of only wasps, but every flying insect that has any kind of a self-defense method.

Daniel, there are clowns. 
I once saw a wasp drag off a fully grown cicada... that was pretty cool.

...Cute fluffy creatures... Like bunnies and squirrels... they give me nightmares. Also they tend to bite people and give them rabies and plague and crap like that, so it is definitely cute fluffy creatures that scare me the most of all those.

Squirrels? Harmless? Have you ever tried petting one? I'm sure if a squirrel clawed you or bit you, it'd hurt just a little bit worse than a little bee sting.

In my old home town, there was this funny old lady who went to the cemetery and fed the squirrels. They ate from her hand... and consequently they expected food from everyone who went there. They were rather cute when they climbed up your leg and thigh if you rubbed your fingers in one hand together to kinda gesture you had food

Seemed rather harmless, anyway.

...until they found out you didn't have food, and went berserk?

I'm partly arachnophobic, so in some cases, I may be scared of certain insects (like those that look like flying spiders!) as well as some spiders.

I wouldn't want to encounter centipedes after seeing videos about them... killing and eating a mouse. >.>

I like snakes, they're cute, just too bad not many of them are safe, I know they're petworthy, though.

Snakes are cool. I'm completely 100% aracnophobic. Or at least for spiders longer that 1/4 inch long.

I'm a man, but I can change, if I have to.I guess. 
It's not the big spiders that you should be scared of. Have you ever seen those absolutely tiny spiders, the ones that look like absolute specks? Less than a tenth of a millimeter across? Well, I found once once, and put it onto a microscope slide. At over x500 resolution, I could see a mite on it. A very small mite.

Now, how many of those mites are on you, right now?

Chop your own wood, and it will warm you twice.

I fear spiders. Really. As long as they're not moving they're not really a scary, but as soon as they move I'm off

Daddy-long-legs on the other side are to stupid to be 'fearable' I always love to electrocute them

11, because I find them all high sorces of protein, nothing to be scared of. What? Something I said?

I fear none of those, because most aren't to be scared of and some I haven't had any experience with. Uh, actually only the centipede.

Tal can be scary though. He's winning the main page poll at the moment.
