I hate cockroaches! They look so disgusting with their hairy legs. Other insects don't bug me though (excuse the pun).

I'm scared of getting stung by bees. Besides that though, bugs don't scare me. Just really annoy me.
The most annoying is the gnat in my opinion. We've got millions of them where I live, and they seem to serve no purpose other than to annoy as much as possible. They're too small to bother with swatting, bug sprays don't seem to help since there are so many of them, and they get into everything. Then if we have people over, they seem to make a habit of not shutting the screen door, and we get gnats all over in the house.
Sorry, I truly detest gnats.

Wow, it's so sad (to me, anyway) that you guys don't like creepy-crawlies. It's especially sad that you don't like cockroaches. They're among the most intelligent insects -- that is to say, they can find food in a maze faster than most and remember it, rather than learning the names of squeaky toys -- and they actually make pretty good pets for insects.
I'm a big fan of tarantulas, but unfortunately I always seem to get on the wrong end of their hairs - most of 'em have irritating hairs. If a bird eats one, it learns real quick that those spiders make 'em sick, so they don't eat any more. And the hairs are rough on people, too - they come out when the spider's scared, just like a dog's. So don't scare a tarantula while holding it.
The only bugs that scare me are the ones that surprise me - I squeak like a little girl when I'm surprised, which my girlfriend finds incredibly funny - but if I can expect it, then I think they're pretty cool.

I actually like insects, except roaches mainly, for them its insta-death. Roaches wouldn't bother me either if they stayed outsoors, but having them in my house is another story. But I did hold hissing cockroach once at the zoo, it was pretty cool. I was little and I remember I was one of the only kids who would hold it.
