Never heard of them climbing, Melissa. That's fascinating.

And I hate scorpions, too, Colleen C. Those nasty little arched stingers... Shudder.

Oh, my, Kay! Those brown recluse bites sound awful. Worse than black widows (which are plenty bad enough.)

One animal I fear that many people love is a ferret. My friend's stuck his weaselly little head up the leg of my jeans and sank his fangs straight to the bone. It was a really painful and utterly unprovoked bite, and I've never been able to look a ferret in its beady eyes since. Although if that hadn't happened, I'm pretty sure I would've loved their cute little antics.

Wow! These are so creepy to read. Thanks, everyone, for sharing, and best of luck in the drawing!

Thanks so much, Teresa W!

Thanks so much, Betty and Judy!

I don't hate snakes in general, but water moccasins (cotton mouths) bug me, too. Esp. when they're swimming in the same body of water where I happen to be. Eeeps!

*Shudder* I'm pretty fearless about animals (says the girl who chased around her sister with a live snake) but you all are seriously creeping me out. Especially the roach in the purse story. Argh!

Thanks for sharing. Taking notes for my next thriller. :)
