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

Aha. That explains it. I refuse to watch horror films - there are some things
that just shouldn't be inside my head - I can get into quite enough trouble without adding extra images!
You should be proud - that's a LOT of phobias!
Most people only have one or two. I used to have a wasp phobia, but it seems to have gone away. Still got that stupid bloke phobia, though.... can't seem to shake it...
