Re your theory, yes, um... I suppose it was obvious really (hangs head in shame... ) Being a vegetarian, I suppose I shrink from these things...

I am also vegetarian - but strangely that was the first thing that occurred to me! Perhaps I watch too many horror films. Yes, that must be it.
Not too many insects in London (cripes, anything that inhales the 'air' runs the risk of instant choking). Woodlice mainly, a few beetles, and silverfish.
I am a bit funny about some creatures - I can't even look at centipedes, earwigs, stag-beetles, woodlice or flying ants without feeling faint (yes, I know...
) I even get a funny noise in my ears when I see them, which is really strange - it is a real phobia - I know they can't hurt me! Strangely enough, this only happens when I see them indoors - if they are outside I can watch them quite happily, and even enjoy seeing them go about their lives!
On the other hand, I love ladybirds, rain-beetles, moths, butterflies, bees and silverfish.
I love snails, but feel stomach-clenching sensations when I see a slug.
Perhaps I need professional help
