Why Are Bugs Creepy? | Darkology #16

Why are bugs so creepy, disgusting, and terrifying?

This week's Darkology is about insects and arachnids, and the psychology behind why we fear them so greatly.

Ants. Cockroaches. Spiders. Mantids. Bees. Centipedes. Grasshoppers. Beetles. Worms. From smaller insects to larger arachnids, which of these creepy-crawlies gives you the chills?
