I am.

I either love them or hate them.

I adore cicadas.
Cocroaches make me scream and stand on a chair.

I like observing insects, they are so intricate - like tiny robots. That doesn't stop me smashing wasps with rolled up magazines when they fly into my house though.

I HATE wasps... :evil:

If you think I'm coaxing those flying sociopaths into a chuffing envelope you can forget it...

I usually end up watching some tiny ants on the sidewalk when I take breaks at school. Sometimes I interact with their world. I think of them as little robots, and I ponder their operating system. Now that its colder and the ants have gone I find myself pushing the dirt, at the edge of the sidewalk, around with my shoe. I don't really know of any other insects that I like, though. Except for moths because they are they are the butterflies of the night, I respect that.

Wasps highly excel at pest-control in gardens, I hear.

im scared of spiders and scorpians, but butterflies, moths, grasshoppers, crickets, walking sticks, ants, and hissing cockroaches interest me.

I must admit, I do love bees. And I have a certain way with Yellow Jackets. I pick them up whenever they've gotten lost inside a building somewhere, like at a window, and put them back outside. (With the Yellow Jackets, I have to wait until they're sufficiently worn out though.)

Yes, I like bees. And Wasps don't scare me in the least. They land on me sometimes.
