    I really like both spiders and bees (honey bees) because they're really interesting and useful for natural predation and balance in the world. They're really awesome.

    That being said... The poison factor really sqicks me out. And wasps/yellow jackets are just useless. Screw 'em.

    I don't mind spiders too much...except cave spiders...omg, nothing is creepier than a cave spider.

    Bees I don't mind, sometimes when they fly around, I let them chill on my hand or something. If you don't do anything to them, they won't do anything to you

    It's pretty funny how much people would freak out over bees. They see some shadow out of the corner of their eye and they all start freaking out.

    I've been stung on the bottom of the foot before. I can't say I freaked out because... I only knew it had happened when it had happened.

    I think it's the opposite, since you stand on them they should harden, right? Although they have some spots corresponding to other parts of the body or sumthin'

    The only time I ever got stung was when I stepped on a bee at the beach. I wasn't freaking out persay, I was more thinking "Oh sh*t, that kinda hurt."

    somewhere....not sure
    i was only stunned once by a bee behind my neck, it went numb for about an hour or so, that didnt stop me from playing counter strike tho

    as for spiders, im not afraid of it as long as its not dangerous and hell i would like to have a tarantula
    and i only hate cockroaches because they're annoying and dirty (ones from the sewers, naturally clean, raised ones are fine by me)

    Have you ever been tickled in the foot? Sensitive.

    Anyway, sensitive or not, the nasty part was having to walk on it.

    Heh, if you think the spiders in your house are bad, be glad you don't live in Iraq

    [img width=450 height=576]http://www.thefunnypage.com/camel-spiders/spider.jpg[/img]

    These are known as Camel Spiders and Sun Spiders, they are neither spider or scorpion as they look like a hybrid between the two but are arachnids and are in their own category which are called Solifugae. I think I'd cry if that shit was on my ceiling...

    And we are always getting Wasps and Bee's in the house during summer, gets so annoying.

    Yea, they fight a lot. And the large species are the size of large dinner plates even bigger.
