Sometimes, reality is stranger than fiction. Insects have been portrayed in horror movies and sci-fi as menace that can wreak havoc. And it is strange, as we all know that most of these tiny insects can’t hurt us, yet when they touch or land on our skin, we scream to death.
Pest Control Industry has been in the service for decades, with a continuous growing demand from clients willing to spend time and money just to get rid of them. Many people admitted to be afraid of insects particularly spiders, more than who feared dying because of a violent crime or sickness.
Some logical explanations why these generally small and harmless creatures are considered to be so frightening.
1. 1. Because some of them are actually may pose harm or danger.
Yes, they are scary because some of them either bite or sting such as scorpions, bees, bedbugs etc. The most notable reason is that they can cause harmful or deadly disease such as Zika virus and Malaria brought by mosquitoes. Researchers believes that we have evolved to be aware of the presence of animals that may pose danger, however how small they seem to be.
2. 2. Because we find them horrible.
Even though we are not afraid of insects the way we fear sharks, snakes or a crocodile. We may go into panic if we see these deadly animals in the wilderness, but at the same time we can find these animals as popular mascots, animated characters and find them cute and lovely, but we don’t have any bugs/insects gracing the covers of our food labels and boxes or appearing as beautiful in children’s cartoons or fairy tale books. Some expert suggest that it is the feeling of disgust- (the “rejection response” — the overwhelming feeling that you need to get this thing away from you, like, right now) that causes the real fear from these little critters.
3. They look obnoxious and invasive.
Yes, given their weird physical attributes like many legs and many eyes, and unique locomotion compared to other animals of mammalian order or other stranger animals; it is not surprising that they can evoke fear to us. Most of the time, we find them as invaders of our homes, and it may be a coincidence or plain reason that we have pictured the green Extra Terrestrials from other planets into their likeness. Most of the time, our encounter with insects feel like an invasion — like an encroachment on our home territory, a place where we’re supposed to feel safe and clean and in control.
