What are some insects/qualities that insects have that truly bother you? Not something as simple as "this bug looks scary" but things that are truly scary about said bug.
For example:
Japanese hornet venom can melt skin
Cicadas pupate for 17 years then hatch all at once in swarms
Humans created Africanized honey bees/killer bees

I once watched ants drag away a baby mouse. Thing went squeaking it's ass off all the way.
>>767887015
bullet ant, 'nuff said, if youv'e ever been bit by one, you know
>>767887534
Are you implying that you've been bitten by a bullet ant?
I need kinda specific stuff, working on an insectoid villain for a story and wanna get the right stuff that causes people to feel uneasy
>>767887567
I have, I let one bite me on a dare, it was a mistake.
>>767887015
>Hmm...He was behind of it.
>>767887762
Where do you live?
>>767887699
Nice dubs.
>>767888192
in the US, but I was in brazil when this happened
>>767887015
There are a lot of insects that can paralyze people partially through a bunch of different methods.
Anyone else?
Ticks. You cant even tell they are eating you.
>>767887015
Bald-faced hornets can fucking SPRAY their venom.
Parasitic wasps that lay their eggs in other bugs. Shit's fucked up.
>>767887015
>Cicadas pupate for 17 years
whatthe fuck vro
>>767887015
The fact that they are all autonomous. Everything they do has 0 thought or even recognition that there are actions being performed.
>>767889240
And after 17 years, they live for one season, then die. The males mate, then die. The females mate, lay eggs, then die.
>>767889489
but they leave behind those great husks stuck to the bark of trees that you can pick off after it dries out (have to wait until they aren't soggy anymore or they'll rip) and then you can put them in girls' hair and scare them
>>767887015
Anything that crawls inside if you. Fuck that shit
>>767888768
I didn't even know that and I used to throw rocks at their nests when I was a kid.
>>767887015
>Humans created Africanized honey bees/killer bees
How does this bother you?
>>767887762
>I let one bite me on a dare
don't know if i should call you a moron or make friends with you
FUCKING CENTIPEDES. Nothing should have that many fucking legs.

>autonomous
>Everything they do has 0 thought
that doesn't mean what you think it means. fucking moron
>>767890848
Why not both?
>>767890905
Millipedes have more.
>>767891343
Millipedes are cute tho, in a weird sort of way. They're just little armored toothpaste tubes with legs. Centipedes on the other hand are elongated stingerless scorpions.
>>767887015
Botfly
Easily the most indescribable uneasiness comes from the fact that they burrow into you as larvae and become a smart "wart" the develop as parasite and sprout out of your very skin. Have fun itching for hours on end after a few YouTube videos
>>767887699
If you want some reasons insects bother people here are a few:
Extreme body horror of an animal burrowing inside you, possibly erupting back out or hollowing you out
Giant colonies acting in unison like ants
No recognizable face
Ability to change from idiot forager grub to highly specialized killing machine through metamorphosis
Poisonous
Incredible strength
Lack of emotion and compassion
High rates of reproduction
Acting like a living plague a la locusts
Parasitism/parasitoidism
>>767891343
not that anon but centipedes are the scariest fuckers on this planet, they look awful have brutal fucking sting/bite and can hunt fucking rodents and small animals. They will hide in your fucking boots and strike when youre most vulnerable. They are the bane of every well-intentioned species on earth.
I don't like the idea that there are insects out there that could potentially eat your skin, not that long ago I saw a video on here of a woman's nipple getting eaten by a praying mantis. Just imagine what a larger but similar bug could do to you, you could end up having all the flesh from your fingers missing or a hole in your stomach.
>>767887699
the fact that their so primal, they're like machines, they don't react like mammals do. They move awkwardly and unpredictably.
>>767891343
millipede legs dont extend out
>>767887403
where was the mother mouse
>hanging out n friends basement
>feel something in my pants
>"must be a box elder"
>take pants off and shake them(not weird just makes sense)
>this fucking thing falls out.

Black widow mi negro. Shit was scary.
Asian giant hornet
they are wasps that grow to be 5cm long. What more needs to be said
>This thread
I FEEL ITCHY ALL OVER
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK
Ever have a hornet fly in your face? Come at you full speed with the intention to kill. Even the strongest most emotionless man would act like a little girl. The power that holds is special.
