I got Lyme disease from a tick so small I could barely see it, so.... sure! Probably the sickest I've ever been with a fever.

Well, you see, that's actually an orangutan on a tricycle and is bigger than that human. I hope this helps.

Spiders can be cute, especially when compared to other bugs... A few really deadly assholes give the rest of them a bad name. And they're always villainized in movies/shows.

god bless jumping spiders, they have big puppy eyes and it's so obvious that they have something going on behind them.

They're one of very very few bugs i would like to see a larger version of, along with rolie-polies. Imagine having a jumping spider you could ride on, how sweet would that be!

If you want some real nightmare fuel, there used to be 8 foot long millipedes

Wow, imagine being the group of scientists on vacation and just stumbling upon that!

The thing is though, at that size bugs just become a threat like any other large animal, it's scary but not creepy.

Small bugs give the heebie jeebies because they're so small you can't keep track of them, they can sneak into clothes and other stuff or fucking bury into your flesh AAAAAAA i hate it.

The same even applies to mammals, a tiger is scary but a mouse scampering around makes many people blank out in absolute panic.

They go BZZZZZZZ though, it's scary...

This is something i've thought about, in a lot of media they portray things like spiders as making screams or hisses, but man i'd be more freaked out if they made normal bug sounds like buzzing or chirping.

Fuckin’ spiders man. Can’t deal with ‘em. I know they’re good to keep around, but they can stay outside. Doesn’t matter the size. They freak me out.

i recommend watching videos about them, it helped dull my arachnophobia from "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA" to "okay that's a very small spider, i can pick it up and put it somewhere else real quick so we don't have to bother each other."
