Entomophobia - Blog Posts

tw there's a photo of a bee. bee aware. haha get it get it GET I

just putting this out there, i hate the stigma against carpenter bees.

"but they burrow in wood and ruin your house!" skill issue, my house is already in the trenches (constantly dirty for no reason, no ventilation, the floor is broken in quite a few spots, etc.)

"but they can still bite and sting you!" erm, ackshually 🤓 males don't have stingers. plus, the females typically aren't aggressive and only sting if absolutely necessary. and also, if they can bite, why do they like to sniff my hair when i go outside and bumble around just like their cousins?

like, come on. these little guys are absolutely adorable. i don't care about the structural integrity of your house, how can you hate these little fellas? i used to be fucking terrified of bees until i learned that the carpenter bees around my house literally just act tough and can't hurt you for shit

Greatly impairing insectophobia/entomophobia flag, for those whose fear of bugs/insects greatly interferes with and reduces their quality of life

[ID: A flag with five equal horizontal stripes. In descending order, the stripes are bright green, leaf green, pond green, dark green, and brick red. End ID.]

I'm really glad it is getting colder outside because it is really difficult for me to go out during the warmer seasons.

Bugs. Evelyn always hated them. The mere sight of a beetle makes her jump. And don’t even get her started on spiders. One day, she saw one in her bedroom; slept on the couch for 3 days. The presence of a bug gives her the feeling that there are 7 extra somewhere. She hates cleaning even more. The stench of strong lemon and bleach, dust from the vacuum, filthy water from the mop bucket while pouring it out. It makes her feel like there are bugs crawling on her. While she lays in bed at night, under her covers. She feels them. Crawling. Everywhere. Every night, under her covers, she gets a deep sense of revolsion and disgust swept over her as she scratched and scraped her skin, desperate to rid herself of the disgusting grime and grease on her body. It takes everything in her to not make slits and cuts in her skin get rid of this deplorable feeling. When she showers, she scrubs and exfoliates her skin til it bleeds. Every time her head gets itchy, she wants to scrub and wash her hair, even though she just washed it the night before. She can just feel the bugs crawling and gnawing on her scalp. She’s terrified of lice. Evelyn hates knowing that there are little microscopic creatures on our face and body, biting at dead skin cells. She’s just glad she can’t feel those too.

Don’t get her wrong, she loves living in an clean environment. But the process of cleaning and maintaining stresses her out more than it should.
