I like and may actively seek to touch/have land on me butterflies, most moths, ladybugs, dragonflies, katydids, soft fluffy caterpillars (used to be a great fan of gypsy moth ones in particular) and some attractive harmless beetles, although I would not invite any of these creatures to live in my home. I am capable of geeshing small disliked bugs (that don’t run too fast or fly away) barehanded as long as I expect to be able to wash my hands. Large disliked bugs that move away from me, but not too fast or under anything, I can geesh with an implement without being too shaken up about it. Large disliked bugs that approach me, or move very quickly, or get into an inaccessible place such as under the microwave, freak me out until they die, but I can sometimes still manage it myself if there’s no one else to call in for help. I’m especially freaked out by the phenotype my family refers to as “lottalegdo”—a self-explanatory term except that it doesn’t include spiders.
When freaked out by a bug more than whoever is nearby, I solicit assistance in causing the bug’s death. When I am the less freaked out party I slay bugs for others.
