Good point. Is there a country where girls do like bugs? (Other than ladybugs and butterflies of course.)

I�m so afraid of insects! I guess it�s some kind of phobia (some people are afraid of heights, I�m terrified of those damn insects!). I just don�t know why, I understand that most of them are absolutely harmless, but still I can�t possibly exist in one room with a butterfly or a bug. I personally think they are degusting. Sorry, didn�t mean to offend anybody.

oh, you really have insect-phobia Smile don't worry about it! many people have their own phobia: green-phobia, nail-phobia, mice-phobia...suchlike. that is pretty normal!

In my case, I have mice-phobia and mice-s*hit-phobia. I can't exist in the same room with mouse and mouse's s-hit around. that would be kill me! Smile

I like the shape of mice, but that doesn't mean that I might own a mouse oneday! I just enjoy looking at their pictures, so cute Laughing
