Spiders aren't insects. The term "bug" isn't just confined to insects but can in fact be any Arthropod, including arachnids, millipedes, centipedes and trilobites.

You are brave to hold this wasp on your hand.

I'll pick up jumping spiders (redbacked & wolf),
but only for a short time, while the spider is still in a good mood.
I don't trust the other species.

I hate flies and mosquitoes, these should be extinct.

When I was young (~13) I got invited by a pal to take this trip to some
beach in Florida, for a cookout/camping/barbecue; I wore a short-sleeved shirt
and shorts and got attacked by numerous very large furry mosquitoes.
This is the size of the mosquitoes that attacked me.
I still have nightmares, I don't know how I survived.

You are known as a hero if you can have 10-15 of these on you

THis is a typical jumping spider; they're usually safe, and kind of cute:)

Don't go near these next 2 spiders;
These are very venomous. It's safe to pet a rattlesnake.

Since my mom has been going up north all her life, she got used to mosikitoes. I'm pretty shure she dosen't even feel them(well, if not, she dosen't care. That I know for shure.). Lucky her!

Mosquitoes, moths, flies, and code (programming errors). I don't mind ants or bees that much.

I love spiders though :3 (unless they're minecraft ones, in which case, not so much.)

Just looking at the asian hornet scout reminded me of the time 5 or 6 years ago where I was playing out on the playground and actually saw one of these, either that or some large bee. It freaked the heck out of me and I did not want to go outside for a period of time.

Hope I don't find another one

Here's a bonus video of a hornet like this going in a beehive and starting a commotion

When the hornet killed a bee, all bees fight with it.
Interesting video.
