Locusts hurt when they bite too. Really painful. Not sure about roaches, but I've experienced the locusts. We get them every year

I wouldn't know, too scared to hold them, lol!
Seemed like a pretty strong bite though, the way they make quick work of leaves

Well
An attack does sound alarming

But the faces of locusts makes me just

Well, here is why I'm scared of roaches. I was in the kitchen, I grabbed a glass, and then I hear this freakish crinkling sound, and then I felt it on my hand. Mind you, it was COMPLETE darkness

Eek!
I have a big fear of most insects, including spiders, spiders are just UGH
No thank you

Heres something funny, as a three year old I LOVED spiders, loved holding them!
Hated snails. Petrified.

Did a complete 180.

Love snails and slugs. But I think it's the legs and mandibles I don't like

I like both, but I hate both when they jump up on my hand unannounced

Oh then I bet you love milipedes

They're not bad. We have the little ones in our basement every year

Well that's surprising! Pleasantly though

I don't mind them much either, it's the critters with longer legs... too many legs... and scary faces, that make me uncomfortable
Dougie is a handy spider catcher though

Ugh, bugs.

Nopenopenope!

I'm dreading blackfly season in May. And mosquitos all summer.

Roaches are a big NOPE for me, due to having had a roommate who brought along HER roommates when she moved in. One came out of the telephone when I lifted the receiver.

Earwigs are just too creepy and disgusting.

Spiders are one of my biggest nopes. We don't have any venomous ones here, but I cannot stand them! Except maybe jumping spiders, they're kinda cute...

I do love pillbugs, though. I had a small aquarium of them in my closet as a kid. Freaked my mom out!
