For me, it's ladybugs/Japanese beetles. They have the most repulsive smells ever, comparable to chlorine with a bit of rotten egg! Also, they bite and on top of it have that hard outer shell making a crunch if one is squished. All around my least favorite insect no doubt.
I love ladybugs. lol. I did an internship in Illinois and was pleasantly surprised to see them in my closet with 5 feet of snow outside...

I have a phobia for anything flying and stinging! But my true hatred falls on Ants,common black ants who invade my home every summer. Threatening my insect/arachnid collections and agitating my precious ferret! >:I
Sounds like the Argentine ants! Love them! My favorite part is how they killed $100+ worth of stuff a few months back.

Yeah,they appear every summer for me and just cause havok on my household. Thankfully a few bait traps is all it takes to beat them back for the rest of the season @__@

You have no idea how much I can relate to this I am happy to squash the little ones, but the huge ones, I can’t stand, found a dead tree earlier today ripped some bark off to make hides, 5-7 very large moths came flying at me :anxious::arghh:

Really? What about butterflies? Butterflies are just a subgroup of moths.

Please do not condone the senseless killing of arthropods. You're no better than the people who comment "NOPE NOPE KILL IT WITH FIRE HUR DUR" on spiders related videos on youtube.
