It is part of human instinct to be naturally scared of some animal species. Most people are either afraid of snakes or spiders, or both. Many don't like bugs, especially big cockroaches. Scorpions are yet others that most people wouldn't dare touch and would probably run away from.

What I find amazing is that our "human instinct" can vary so much from one person to another, even between siblings. A tiny, harmless spider already makes me uneasy, but I have no apprehension when it comes to snakes or other reptiles. In fact, I'd be more "scared" by a cockroach than by a python. I wouldn't take a cockroach with my hands, but I have done it with snakes and didn't mind it at all. Where is the logic ?

Let's see in this poll how scared you are of the 4 above-mentioned animals : snakes, spiders, scorpions and cockroaches.
