First time I ever encountered a "House Centipede": What was the scariest insect you've come across? - General

So this happens a little while ago [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fum4Ps54Eyk[/media] At first this thing frightened the pants off of me, but then I realized (after looking up "How to kill a spider-caterpillar hybrid monster") that it was a common House Centipede, and left it be. I'm about to go take it in a plastic cup and set it in my back yard. What's the scariest insect you guys have ever run into?

Ladybugs...

Earwigs. They were under my bed. I also had 3 giant spiders living under my bed for a few months until I discovered them. Clean your room, kids!

Got these in my house, you can hear them walking on the dropped ceilings at night. [editline]0[/editline] Also, this would have been best posted in fast threads.

[QUOTE=bradley;36276691]Earwigs look fucking SCARY.[/QUOTE] Yeah, I was a bit shocked when I got the surprise visit.

One time I found a silverfish in my barbecue sauce. After a quick google search, I found that you can get rid of silverfish by removing all the stone bricks in your house. Since I've done that, I haven't had any since.

My cat brought in a fish from the neighbors pond once. I shat myself because I stepped on it and it exploded ass guts over my floor.

Not an insect, but those bush spiders with those weird colors and huge abdomens usually make webs on the front yard. Most horrible things I've ever seen. That or the black ones with long thick legs that sometimes find their way in.

That time when I realized I had a nest of black widows living under my bed for 2 years.

I see house centipedes all the time They've become my arch nemesis's

[QUOTE=bradley;36276691]Earwigs look fucking SCARY.[/QUOTE] An earwig pinched my elbow when it was on the table once in a sneak attack. It was promptly terminated after I shrugged off the sneak attack

One time I was pouring some cereal into a bowl and an earwig came out. I can't eat that type of cereal anymore. [img]http://ryecityschools.midland.schoolfusion.us/modules/groups/homepagefiles/cms/496886/Image/Webquests/Insects/earwig.jpg[/img]

I remember when I was a kid, I poured a bowl of cereal, filled it with milk, took a couple bites and found a small spider curled up dead floating in mix with my frosted flakes. I nope'd big time, didn't eat ceral for a long time, and even now every time I do I inspect the bowl before I pour the cereal, then I carefully pour the cereal to watch for any foreign objects, and then add milk. Breakfast cereal is now a scary event for me.

So one time my friend and I decided to open an old mailbox in his back yard It was full of earwigs

i had a half eaten moth come out of reeses puffs once i don't know how it got in there but i was pouring and poof a wing and its head were just chilling in my bowl i think my worst experience with an insect was when I was digging dirt out of my neighbor's window well because she asked me to, and so I clearly had to get down there. spray the corners to kill spiders and shit and then of course when I get down in there a black widow starts skittering across the glass. i literally jumped straight out of the window well

Texas Giant Centipede. Found one in some dude's assault pack after we came back from training.

Found a brown recluse on my bed once. Didn't sleep in my room for two weeks. Then I moved out of that house. (alright so didnt move because of the spider, the move was already planned, but i was doubly happy since it meant i didnt have to see the spider again)

One of those big black house spiders. [img]http://greennature.com/gallery/spider-pictures/giant-house-spider.jpg[/img] We don't get scary insects here so seeing a big black thing on the wall at random sometimes scares me.

Those things get huge, and are scary looking, like a giant ant-beetle-fly hybrid. [editline]10th June 2012[/editline] Haven't seen any in years though, I guess they're somewhat rare.

One time I asked my dad if I could have some his soda, so he poured some out of the can into a cup and a fucking wasp came out. I think I saved my dads life.

I've had my run-in with the house centipede. Last November I was just doing whatever I was doing on my computer when all of a sudden I see this giant fucking centipede crawl over onto my keyboard. I was in a skype call and began just shouting incredibly loud obscenities while running across the room looking for an aerosol can or something to kill it with. A fly swatter would of been too nasty. I grabbed the nearest can of febreze and sprayed the shit out of it since that seemed to work with spiders. This fucker was resilient to it. I ended up getting my spanish textbook and dropped it on it. Everyone in my skype call thought I'd been assaulted by someone. Have you seen those motherfuckers move? It's like they're hovering over the ground or some shit. [video=youtube;xYd64DOOA50]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xYd64DOOA50[/video] Oh and reading this thread made me draw my feet up into my chair, instinctively.

Walked up to garage door. Black Widow falls down on top of me. NOPENOPENOPENOPENOPE.

I don't mind spiders, as they leave me alone if I do the same. However, something about White Tail spiders makes me want to destroy them. Unfortunately, in Australia, during Summer, its spider galore and out of all the spiders possible, I get White Tails the most. Also there's the occasional black house spider sitting in a corner of a room or window but they're bros.

I once saw an ant I nearly died

Welp, I'm never again going to opening my window now
