Bugs!

hey guys, i remeber i saw this moth the size of a small pigion when i went to see my family in the dominican republic, i remeber that same night while i was taking a shower, it was outside in the porch just chilling, i was scared. it came in thru the bathroom window and got on my back! ahhhh it felt hary and it was walking around my back and i ran out the bathroom naked! its kinda embarassing to see a teenager thats 6'6 scary of a bug thats about 8 or 9 inches, but i dont care, that thing was huge! wow that was scary and discusting!! i have a phobia for flying insects, i forget the name of that, but anywho, what were your worst expirience with bugs?
 
there was a giant roach that fell form the cieling and it climbed up my shoe... but I shook it.
then there was one time that there was this giant roach on the ceiling of the bathroom and I go, start brushing my teeth, look in the mirror and there it was right on top of me! i almost had a heart attack :P
then I was attacked by fire ants (my fault... I was trying to get a cool picture so I poked a nest to take a pic of them rushing out but holy cow they came from EVERYWHERE at EXACTLY the same time I poked it! in no time I was covered w/ fire ants... but I managed to take my sweater off and run :P)
another time I stepped on a yellow jacket nest and got stung 5 times. the darned things HURT! and they were itchy for like a week and 1/2!

but NOTHING... NOTHING compares to the suffering mosquitoes can bring.
some stupid people in the outter banks of NC decided to have a mosquito heaven... they make ditches in front of every single house... no predators or anything for the mosquitoes so they breed like crazy. there were 1 inch mosquitoes!!!! and I SWEAR I got bitten hundreds of times. we went inside of the tent (what does it take? 3 seconds?) and there were literally hundreds of mosquitoes inside. You could also hear the humming of the squeeters outside while you slept.
 
I was never really scared of bugs. I've liked for pretty much all my life. I've kept Tarantulas and scorpions and I know what they can do. Sometimes they get pretty annoying though.
 
the only bug I'm "scared" of... not really scared but they just creep me out, are roaches.
I like moths (in fact, i've raised polyphemus moths and right now I have tobacco hornworm caterpillars... and I've cought and touched MANY big ones like pandora sphix, luna moths, cecropia moths, etc) and I like pretty much anything else... but mosquitoes are ANNOYING!
