    Spiders aren't insects...lol! [/b][/quote]
    I think he was talking about bees, he never said anything about spiders being in that catagory.

    And I don't think there's a "phobia" word for being afraid of heights, i'm pretty sure it's just called "vertigo." I don't know if being afraid of heights is an actual phobia, I think it just has to do with anxiety.

    I'm a bit claustrophobic, I'm a little afraid of the dark, and I'm scared to death of heights.

    I can't be bothered ot look up what they are called, but feel free to look them up for me. :D

    I'm not afraid of spiders or any kind of insect, but i sure do hate them, and bees and wasps ----ing scare the hell out of me, but i have the mind to not bother them and all...

    pretty much, everything else im ok with, i've been to the top of so many buildings, like the empire building, we took this virtual reality coaster, going through the sky in New York, that was pretty cool...

    Insects have 6 legs.

    Arachnids are one whole new class I believe.

    (And how does a little kid know all this? I don't know! :))
